If anyone is interested I can post a description on how to do this.
what choices are there out there for contollong windows 8 without attaching a keyboard & mouse
A touchscreen apparently (Sorry - just a joke)
You will need two bright IR light sources. The sensor bar is basically 4+4 LEDs on each side of the sensor bar that is filtered for IR light. I do not think kinect is able to achieve this.- Can the x-box kinnect be used in lieu of a usb sensor bar?
Yes. Especially if you pair a wiimote with the sync button. That way you can have touchmote start at login and you would just have to press any button to start maneuvering windows. The wiimotes will automatically enter a sleep mode after a while. The problem with syncing is that you will have to resync with the wii console if you would like to use the wiimotes there. If you do not sync you can set up so that touchmote waits for a pairing signal on startup so you just instead of pressing any button press 1+2 simultaneously and just wait a few seconds at it will be connected without losing the sync to the wii console.- In your opinion is this something that could be used by some of the technophobes in my family?
Yes. The only thing is that they disabled the ability to easily override the screen size to enable good upscaling of the interface. If you want to do that you will have to override the display EDID. I will write a guide on how to do that at a later time.- Does this work seamlessly with Windows 8.1?
I am using the built in Bluetooth in Apple computers which uses a Broadcom chip and works seamlessly. Then I have tried three different noname cheap USB adapters and I think all of them works by pairing but some does not properly work with 1+2 pairing. I do not have these here so I can't tell you the specific models but I would guess the more expensive the better.- Which bluetooth adaptor have you been using? Or, do you have a recommendation? Smaller the better as far as I'm concerned.
Some bluetooth adaptors will have trouble pairing a Wiimote using 1+2 . Try pairing by pressing the Sync button in the battery compartment. If that does not work, try another bluetooth adaptor or try with Toshiba driversHi,
I have a nextronics usb sensor bar plugged into my pc and Bluetooth dongle using the Qualcomm Atheros Blueooth AR3011 Driver. When I hit sync on the wii remote the touchmote display says "paired" and then some time later responds "Error Could not activate".
What am I doing wrong?
