What is this, what is it for, and is it more important than the thing Spock looks into?

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Sensor bar for the bridge's Wii. The audience only sees the lights because cameras can pick up infrared. Data finds them amusing, and Geordi just filters them out; the rest of the crew can't see them.
Ever use candles for the sensor bar? That's a fun trick.
Lol, can't say I have. But I did eventually learn that the sensor bars are just dumb IR lights that the remotes track rather than something more complex, so I can see how it would work.
Something else cool you can do with a Wii sensor bar.
That's reminds me of the EDTracker, a little head tracking solution created for Elite Dangerous, made out of an Arduino and a sensor board that's basically like a Wiimote (the accelerometers and magnometer, not the IR stuff). It was much cheaper than TrackIR or any commercial head tracking solution.
Lol their main domain has been bought by a dodgy prostitute spam site now... you don't want to visit the .org.uk site. But the instructions are still on hobby components forums.
It's a shame there haven't been more ghetto head tracking implementations. It's a damn sight more affordable than VR, and doesn't require loads of space to use.
Ah, so the Wii spawned the 3DS.
