hey, does it work like a lightgun btw? using the screens refelction to determine its position?

if so, no rev for me. doesnt work on a projector, and with a little luck itll have bad performance on a 100hz tv

I can definitely say that you can point the thing at an angle at the TV, because that's the whole point of the device: you're not moving your whole arm around, you're just making very slight inflections with your wrist.

When you play with a Wavebird, do you stand up and hold it at arm's length towards the screen? No. And you don't have to do this with the Revolution controller. You can sit with your hands in your lap and just move your wrist a little to cover the entire screen.

Nope. Completely different technology.

Currently, there are two exterior sensors that are placed in two locations in the room which allow the revolution to determine the spot you're pointing at. Don't ask how it works, nobody other than Nintendo really knows.

This setup is absolutely not in it's finalized form, so chances are that this will change over time for the final product.

oh good then
although having 2 external points in the room might suck if you have cats, like myself
