I have a prospect that is looking to use a Wiimote for an input device to run a quiz for clients at a trade show.  It seems like a cool idea but I am curious as to the functionality to:

1) Create a Quiz on a PC platform
2) Hook up a Wiimote as an input device
3) Have it work in a trade show environment.

Any ideas as to what we should look at for the software components?

Thanks...

What do you mean by 'quiz'? Would you be using the wiimote as a buzzer? Or would you be using the wiimote as as a selection device? If you're using it as a selector device, how would you want that to be done? Would you want to use the buttons on the wiimote to select like a traditional video game, or would you want to use the motion tracking cursor like the newer Wii games? Or even a different possibility?

A team at sourceforge are developing an application. You may need to do some searching/trial & error:

Selling skills like that, have you ever thought about becoming a sales representative. With a professional manner like that I want to give 200 pounds for nothing too!
