It is not new about unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in military and civil community. These UAVs are widely being used for remote sensing applications including observation, exploration, mapping or inspection of areas, for taking agricultural pictures or traffic monitoring etc.
Quadrocopter, a latest automated visual tracking approach is the modernized UAVs is equipped with latest and powerful technologies. It contains brushless motors, radiation and acceleration sensors, onboard 8-bit microcontroller, Wii remote IR camera and much more. Main parts, besides localization, of this abandonment are control of the flight, generating a map and planning a path in three dimenstions.
Further information can be found on the project site here. Watch the videos below to get the clear picture about this powerful Gadget.

Many of the “Gunframes” that game accessory companies make for Wii FPS games are not really up to snuff. These gunframes are meant to make the Wii controls like actual guns, but they end up with the B or trigger button, and ignore the other controls.
WeeP5 has solved this problem and is actually a fully functional Wiimote. In this the B button is the trigger, A button is under the foregrip, 1 and 2 are on opposite sides near the front, the D-pad and Wii remote are jutting out of the left side, and the +, -, and home buttons are on the top just above the ammo clip.

TEDTalks Building sophisticated educational tools out of cheap parts, Johnny Lee demos his cool Wii Remote hacks, which turn the $40 videogame controller into a digital whiteboard, a touchscreen and a head-mounted 3D viewer. This talk is an amazing example of how the Internet and social media can leverage technology.

After getting inspired from Shawn Blaszak’s work whose video is presented below, Instructables member cbm104 tried to create his own Solar Wiimote charger.
cbm104 has presented a nice tutorial that will surely help you to build your own Solar rechargeable Wiimote. Major components used by cbm104 in his build are :

Nice to see that with some modifications that the Wii is available to everyone.
“This instructable will show you how to rewire the button of the Wiimote to bigger buttons so that persons with disabilities will be able to efficiently use the Wiimote by not having to press the small buttons on the Wiimote. The buttons that will be rewired will be the A button, B button, the directional pad (up, down, left, right), and the Home button.”

If you are into music and like to hack your Wii have a look at this Wiimote AirDeck Virtual Theremin project. It allows you to get your DJ on and bust out some tunes.
“Here is some video I shot shortly after my project presentation which demonstrates the AirDeck virtual theremin application I designed and explains some of the features. It uses the Wii remote as an input mechanism by tracking motion with Infrared LEDs. The AirDeck is written in Java with the WiiUseJ API for handling Wii remote events and the JSyn API for internal synthesis. It can control MIDI out as well as offering a simple DJ scratch interface for real-time manipulation of sound samples similar to a DJ scratching with vinyl records.”

This looks like it might be a better interface for playing games than using buttons on the touch screen or tilting the screen back and forth.
“Yesterday I did my daily scan of Twitter and noticed an interesting question sent to at me. The person, TehMillhouse, asked if I could support the BTstack project.
Don’t know what the hell a BTstack project is? It basically implements a whole lot more of the Bluetooth stack than previously allowed by Apple. This is no easy task, so I was surprised to see a video of the author of BTstack already showing it off on YouTube by controlling an application wirelessly…with a WiiMote!”

What happens when you smash two cool technologies together? Watch the video and see. The Wiimote has some very accurate accelerometers and the iPhone is a flexible platform which allows for this cool visualization. I can imagine a box with the wiimote installed in it simulating a very expensive item to be virtually manipulated to have a closer look. A press of a button could cycle threw colors and models. The possibilities are endless.

This application is probably not what Nintendo was thinking when they created the Wiimote. Who would have thought that a Wiimote would ever control a 15 Ton Robot Arm!
