My wiimote is connected to my bluetooth device perfectly, because the adapter flashes when a wiimote button is pushed. But when i try using the GlovePIE or the WiinRemote programs with the wiimote, i don't get a response out of any one of them. I could really use some advice on this problem.

I'll be trying to get a Wii soon, and then I can try it out. What do you mean by infrared sources? You mean like infrared LEDs? Do they have to be giving a signal of some sort? @tom

Now I'm sorry that I didn't keep you all on top of that sooner. >.> Oh well. When I get back home after spring break, I'll try and remember to post again with a link.

The position sensing also requires two infrared sources so the wiimote can orient itself.

This is cool! Is it possible to plug the wiimote into the computer, though? Do you need an adapter? WOW. This is cool! Is it possible to plug the wiimote into the computer, though?

It's a very handy tool and could be used to develop all kinds of different controller interfaces for Blender.
