After being able to play several shooters on the pc with the remote it was only a matter of time until someone would introduce applications or even a complete user interface utilizing the Wiimote.

Dan McWeeney and Eddie Herrmann, the winners of last years SAP TechEd ’06 DemoJam, were not allowed to compete again this year but were asked to make a short presentation at the 07 show. They came up with this rather crazy idea to use the Wiimote, or better two Wiimotes in conjunction, to work on the screen and replace the mouse.

You can watch a short demonstration of the new technique in the video that I did embed below. The demonstration starts around minute 2.
