student takes tv, ir sensor, wii hardware and laptop and makes 3d vr display

A. Weasel sends this, awesome, and kinda simple, actually, as most brilliant things are.  He basically reverses the Wii system and uses IR sensors as a movement tracker and the Wiimote as static tracker.  You don't actually need that IR bar to use your Wii, just two sources of IR light.  I've heard you could even use candles if you wanted. 

He has software made for it that you can download which is neat, so really, anyone could do this if they had a Wii, a TV and a computer.  I'd love to see what could be done with this, if not with the current console systems, then with the next gen consoles, or on computers too.
