Apparatus to hold wiimotes - pending. (Needed to wait for paycheck)
Decide on a 3d environment to use - I have done some research, and I believe the 3d portion of my project will use Microsoft XNA, as it is what most people appear to use for 3d environments with C#.NET

Here are the screenshots and pictures that I promised.

The first picture is of my IR light source. Right now I am just using the remote control that came with my laptop, it works adequately, but since it pulses the light, and is not very powerful, I will need to create an IR wand soon.
Here is the Wiimote setup. Without a solid apparatus to hold them, they can swivel,and rock back and forth, making data collection almost meaningless.  But it works fine as a proof of concept.

Here is the screenshot of my program in development. Please click on it to view full sized, as some detail is lost in the compression.
