WiiSaber v1.0 Beta 1: Wiimote and Mac lightsaber

WiiSaber is a clever little Cocoa application for the Mac from isnoop. Earlier, isnoop had made an application called the MacSaber, and what it did was used the Mac’s “sudden motion sensor” – every time the Mac was moved, it would make Jedi lightsaber noises and keyboard backlight effects (vigorous movement resulted in Jedi lightsaber clashing and striking noises).

The WiiSaber application lets you use your Wii remote to make lightsaber noises.

So go, lock yourself in your room and start swinging your Wiimote around.

This is WiiSaber v1.0 Beta 1. isnoop says, “I plan on adding more features including more visual response and multi-controller capabilities soon, so check back again later.” We can’t wait. Meanwhile, we’re entertaining ourselves by making deep breathing noises and pretending to use Force lightning on each other.

And here’s the YouTube vid uploaded by thescott18. He mentions the force feedback (the vibration or “rumble” feature – he’s not talking about feedback from the Force).
