I met a fellow who this fall who created a wii controlled puppet using two
servo motors and an arduino microcontroller and some software he got off of
one of the arduino discussion groups.

It was pretty cool and I saw immediate exhibit applications.  There are
several videos on Youtube by a guy named Johnny Lee who has some amazing wii
hacks.  The best one is at this url.
