wiimote's distance from screen

[Debbie]

Hi,

<wiimote>.posIR returns the [x,y] coordinates of the connected wiimote. Is there any way to retrieve the distance of the wiimote from the screen?

Thanks!

The wiimote just provides the raw position of the IR dots. You can compute the distance of the wiimote by computing the separation of the two dots. The closer the wiimote is to the LED bar, the further away the IR dots will be.
