This has to be the ultimate Wii experience, playing Wii sports on a 344″ cinema screen.
Jon Peck’s friend is the manager at his local cinema, they use a digital projector to show adverts on the big screen and he managed to plug his Wii into it.
He then built a wireless sensor bar inspired by Doctabu’s design, the results speak for themselves….

And if you want to build your own wireless sensor bar the the Nintendo Wii then check out Docatabu’s excellent design at http://doctabu.livejournal.com/64758.html
You may not have heard of a transducer before but they could be a worthy addition to any home cinema setup. In essence they are nothing more than a subwoofer with the paper cone removed, and a metal bar added.
When the subwoofer is stimulated by low frequencies it causes the metal bar to move up and down causing vibrations.
They are used extensivley in high end home cinema setups and, as in this version, for DIY simulators to simulate the vibration you would normally feel when flying a plane.
