How to Connect the Wii Sensor Bar to a Computer

The Nintendo Wii, unlike the other video game consoles of its generation, is distinctive for its unparalleled interactivity. The console's wireless "Wiimotes" serve as controllers, with the Wii's sensor bar serving as a receiving point for the Wiimote's signal. The Wii's sensor bar generally sits on top of a television.
