In the tech sense- what is your favorite way that someone has used systems in unintended ways to do something cool?

I like the one where a guy used a wiimote for head tracking.

    So it’s like a really simple motion capture because it sees the QR codes and knows where your left arm is sticking?

    Could it be that basic and effective?

      It’s probably not as good as, like, the Pico trackers or other expensive 3rd party units you wear, but it’s been perfectly functional for me. It tracks better than the headset itself does my bare hands through its sensor array.

      I have nothing else to compare it to, though, because I am cheap and found this before breaking down and just buying something 🤣
