Since the release of Nintendo's Wii, many aesthetic, ergonomic and functional accessories have been developed for the Wii Remote by third parties. == Examples == Since the release of the Wii console, people have been exploring different new ways in which to use the Wii Remote. Many third-party applications are currently in development through Wii homebrew.〔Jamin Brophy-Warren, (Magic Wand: How Hackers Make Use Of Their Wii-motes ), ''Wall Street Journal'', April 28, 2007〕 One popular Windows program called GlovePIE allows the Wii Remote to be used on a personal computer to emulate a keyboard, mouse or joystick. Connecting the Wii Remote to a personal computer is done via a Bluetooth connection. The Bluetooth program BlueSoleil has been proven to successfully connect a Wii Remote to a PC. Still another program (like GlovePIE) is needed to utilize the Wii Remote's protocol and to use the data it offers. The Wii Remote Bluetooth protocol can be implemented on other devices including cell phones, which often have poor usability with games. Two students have demonstrated this concept by creating a driver software that has the capability to connect the Wii Remote to a Symbian OS smartphone. The idea behind this driver is that a mobile phone with a TV-out port can replace the game console. Programmer Johnny Lee has posted video demos and sample code at (his website ) related to the use of the Wii Remote for finger tracking, low-cost multipoint interactive whiteboards, and head tracking for desktop VR displays. This was the subject for his presentation at the prestigious TED conference, where he demonstrated several such applications. The (WiimoteProject ) forum has become the discussion, support and sharing site for Lee's Wii Remote projects and other newer developments. The Wii Remote is also used in fields outside of standard computing. The United States government has experimented with using it to control Packbot, a bomb disposal robot.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Engineers adapt Wiimote technology to control bomb disposal robot )〕 Studies have also been conducted to use the Wii Remote as a practice method to fine-tune surgeons' hand motions.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Engineers adapt Wiimote technology to control bomb disposal robot )〕 Utilizing DarwiinRemote, researchers at the University of Memphis have adapted the Wii Remote for data collection in cognitive psychology experiments.〔(Nintendo Wii With A New Mission: Wiimote As An Interface Bridging Mind And Body )〕 Autodesk have released a plugin that allows the Wii Remote to control orientation of 3D models in ''Autodesk Design Review''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Third-party accessories for the Wii Remote」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
