Any hacks for PS3 bluetooth technology like this?

Look at video #2.

This immediately makes multi-thousand dollar interactive systems out-of-date as far as cost.

You can do all of this for not much more than the cost of a wii remote!

That. Is. The Coolest Thing. I've Seen. Today.

Using video #1, someone can now head down to Radio Shack and create a cheap LED light array to control their Windows PC from their bed using their hands.

Really, really neat too.

And it has numerous applications for the handicapped (at a very, very low price).

I'm excited about it just as a teacher! One of the guys in a school near here told me about it. He is setting this up with a projector to save his school thousands so he can use the projector interactively in classes. I will be doing the same.

The tracking nodes can be stuck on athletes as they do an activity in a specific area, thereby allowing the tracking of their movements for a variety of purposes.

I bet wii remotes are gonna become hard to come by really, really soon...

Wow, that is just awesome! I wonder if Nintendo has seen this and plans to branch their wii out.

Well,

After you've had your fun trying to find a Wii and actually wind up owning one .... You have to think up something to do with it.
