Looks like you can now shoot yourself in the head and watch the spray pattern. Not sure how this idea came about but the visuals are interesting.
“Made using a laptop running Max/MSP/Jitter, a video camera, a projector, a wii remote, and sound editing programs. The program tracked the position of the people’s heads using color tracking. The colorful blood was dynamically generated by the Jitter patch depending on where the head was. The direction of the spray depended on which side of the head the gun(wii remote with green flashlight attached) was shot.”

Did you ever think that your Wiimote would be used to spray electronic graffiti? This cool Wiimote in a spray can do exactly that!
“The basic idea was to build a computer hardware interface which is similar to an existing analog tool. An new interface will force new experiences. Forget about keyboard and mouse: with WiiSpray we created a new human computing interface (HCI). The use of WiiSpray is similar of using a real spray can – but without the colour and the toxic smells. WiiSpray is based on Adobe Flash, a WiiFlashServer and the Nintendo Wii® device. With this techology and a computer supported technology it is possible to move wireless through the space. You don´t need to learn this device – just start spraying intuitively. And the best is, after finishing your grafitti you can upload it to our website and look at it at any time from everywhere.”

Here is a inspirational hack. Take two items that were not meant for hacking and make them interface together. A Wiimote and a Roomba make for an interesting robot! Video after the jump.
“This is my first roomba hacking.
I can say it is a kind of warning for the society taken over by robots. It is a noble challenge to take the human job back from the robots.
In short, I changed my wonderful roomba into an ordinary dull vacuum clearner using a remote controller of Wii

Using some software and a microcontroller you are able to use the Wiimote Nunchuck port to transmit data.
“The nunchuk sends a 6 byte packet to the wiimote. For an in depth discussion of the format go to wiili.org. So you can send whatever data you want across the wiimote, just send it 6 bytes at a time. On the PC side, there are a number of wiimote drivers to choose from. Since am running Linux, I am using libcwiimote. Running the program test1, the Arduino’s data shows up as nunchuk data.”

There is now a way to control your LEGO creations using your Nintendo Wiimote!
“OnBrick is a 20 button programmable NXT remote controller for PDAs & PCs, using Bluetooth. Each RC button executes a user defined program – so now you can play with your NXT robots while building them. Pretty useful for testing sensors too. There are 36 actions, most with a single parameter, including calibrated moves, wait for sensor events, simple sounds, individual motor control & power settings, loops… ”

If the Rubens Tube wasn’t interesting enough, have a look at what you can do when you through a Wiimote into the mix!

Here is a cool way to keep your hands on your Wiimote. Ryan Culy is a gifted modder, can’t wait to see his future work.
“The basic idea is that you strap the nunchuck to one arm and press the analog stick against your leg to use it. The C and Z buttons are ported out and attached to the side of the main Wii-mote, thus making it the main controller but with nunchuck support. I picked this project because it has a good purpose and I’ve had lots of requests for something similar, and unfortunately haven’t gotten around to doing it myself.”

Virtual Hosting has put together a HUGE list of 100 things you can do with the Wii. See the first 10 below, read the full article for the remaining 90 uses.

If you are looking for a more realistic Wiimote Gun, why not build it out of solid steel? That is exactly what Flame500 has done.
“Ever since I heard about the wiimote’s camera based aiming system I thought “wow that would make an epic pistol” and since it came out I had not seen anything that looked like it could still stand up to the abuse of playing and also looked like a convincing pistol. I believe anyone could build this mod given some decent tools and softer/thinner aluminum. The aluminum I had wasn’t really ideal as it was made to be machined and thus was extremely hard. This made cutting it on my cheap as hell bandsaw rather tedious. I started with a template of a colt .45 and traced it out on one of my slabs of 1/2inch aluminum.
After about an hour of cutting I had this.”

If you are interested in reading the raw Nunchuck data for a project, the code provided here can help you do that using an Arduino microcontroller.
“With a little hacking, data can be read from a wii nunchuck directly into an Arduino, using TWI (aka I2C). The nunchuck contains a 3 axis accelerometer, joystick and buttons for only $19.95. The same accelerometer in kit form, cost $34.95 at Sparkfun. Plus the nunchuck is already wired up in a nice clean case! So the wii nunchuck should fit nicely into anyones robotic project.”
