Forget Wiimote: control Nintendo Wii with your fingertips

Bored of using the Wiimote to control the functions on your Nintendo Wii, because if you are then there is a cool video going round that shows you how to control the biggest selling games console on the market with just your fingers. The video that is showing on YouTube is of the creator if this ingenious thing sticking some reflective pads on his fingertips, he then places the Wiimote very close to a infrared emitter.

Although it looks very crude this little hack is great, he is moving his fingertips around and you can clearly see the cursor for the Wii moving around on his very old looking TV. However this hack is very limited in the way that you are not able to press the buttons like you do on the Wiimote itself to select a task.
