You can buy IR Lasers which should work well with the projector and wiimote setup i believe id go get one and test cause it would be alot more accurate

Also didn't someone mod their wiimote to see green lasers thats another option aswell
IR lasers are expensive and quite hazardous. As the lasers emit the electromagnetic radiation which is above the visible light range, it can cause damage to the eye as the reflex response of closing the eye is only for visible light.
Red laser or Green laser may be a better choice.
