@davidhellman@Marwood DOF = Degrees of Freedom. So, analog stick is 2DOF (2 axes of input), whereas Wiimote is at least 3, arguably more.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@davidhellman@Marwood A full implementation of a wand is actually _6_ degrees of freedom... X/Y/Z position _and_ X/Y/Z rotation.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@davidhellman@Marwood The regular WiiMote had reasonable 3DOF positional acceleration IIRC, and a gravity vector.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@davidhellman@Marwood I don't remember if it had rotational accelerometers? I think it did but they were shitty, maybe?1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@cmuratori@Marwood@vectorpoem …would introduce a new input method with a mind-blowing piece of software to prove its usefulness.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes
@davidhellman @Marwood @vectorpoem I agree. It may be that there simply is no mind-blowing piece of software for wand input.
