The Wii Remote also has a PixArt optical sensor that allows it to determine where it is pointing. [45] Unlike a light gun that senses light from a television screen, the Wii Remote senses light from the console's Sensor Bar (RVL-014), which allows consistent usage not influenced by the screen used. The Sensor Bar is about 20cm (7.9in) long and has ten infrared LEDs, five at each end of the bar. [46] The LEDs farthest from the center are pointed slightly outwards, the LEDs closest to the center are pointed slightly inwards, while the rest are pointed straight forward. The Sensor Bar's cable is 353cm (11ft 7in) in length. The bar may be placed above or below the television, centered horizontally, in line with the front of the television or the front of the surface the television is placed on. The Remote should be pointed approximately towards the Sensor Bar; precise pointing is not necessary so long as it is within the limited viewing angle of the Wii Remote. a b c d e Hall, Kenji.

On August 19, 2008, Hillcrest Laboratories Inc. filed a complaint against Nintendo with the U.S International Trade Commission, alleging that the Wii Remote infringed on three of its patents. A fourth Hillcrest patent (for graphical interfaces displayed on television screens) was also allegedly violated. Hillcrest sought a ban on Wii consoles imported to the U.S. [123] On August 24, 2009 Nintendo and Hillcrest reached a settlement, although the terms were not publicly disclosed. [124]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 driver software that has the capability to connect the Wii Remote to a Symbian smartphone. The idea behind this driver is that a mobile phone with a TV-out port can replace the game console. [100] The Nintendo Wii is not as retro as some may perceive, but for me, it’s fast approaching that 20 years old mark, plus, RetroArch has a Wii core, so surely that makes it retro enough!

In the years that followed, Nintendo released more Wii Remote Plus color schemes based on its first-party game franchises.King, Kenny.
