There is an FPS that has 6DOF ability (similar to this).

Here's a list of games TrackIR (same technology) covers: http://www.naturalpoint.com/trackir/03- ... s-all.html

I have this game with it working. Video here (not mine btw!)

I tried to get that program working on my laptop awhile ago but I dont think it works with vista or something.

I did however manage to get my wiimote to work as a mouse which was really cool despite being allot harder to do than a proper mouse.

The wiimote is a fantastic piece of technology though. It uses bluetooth so its easy to get it working on your pc.

As long as you have a bluetooth stack that works with the software you're using. I've java libraries to analyse data from the wiimote and it's pretty cool. I agree it's a great piece of technology, and i actually have on (I don't own a wii) that I'll be using to control my robot with the accelerometer data :) (well that's the plan anywho)
