Wiimote sensor bar

Well, you may ask why oh why did I put this video here... It is funny and to the point. I have been installing my Max/MSP Jitter and Arduino back again after it has been not present in my computer for long few months. After a while, whne everything was there, I was testing my patch and everything that goes with it: cameras, Wiimote, goggles and Arduino. The first camera appears to be broken...hmm, it should not be a big problem, it cost me only 5 pounds to get a new one. The second camera that is inside the goggles seems to show a blurry picture so few more adjustmesnts need to be done. Next, the Wiimote is not detecting the IR LEDs of the camera inside the goggles even though the LEDs stick outside the goggles cover. I have spent 6 hours today trying to figure out what is the problem. The funniest part, that also relates to the video, is the Wiimote detecting my ceiling lamp like if it was a IR LEDs. Hah, so much to be done tomorrow. If the bug won't be fixed quick, the option would be to build a Wiimote sensor bar. Simple and convenient.
