A new way to annoy the neighbours!

How about this for something cool to do with your Wii Remote and Nunchuk? A Wii virtual drum kit!
Have a look at the video below for a demo of what's in the kit, which is pretty basic right now, but then if you reckon you're a better drummer, why not grab the program from www.thisisnotalabel.com and have a crack yourself?

Nah the sensor bar is a misnomer - it doesn't sense anything, just a couple of infra-red leds used for calculating position you're pointing at the screen.

This looks like it just uses the motion sensors built into the wiimote and nunchuck.
Iirc the wiimote communicates via bluetooth.
