GlovePIE

GlovePIE is a popular input emulator which allows for users to play PC based games and other applications through other means, rather than just a keyboard and mouse.

GlovePIE (Glove Programmable Input Emulator) was created by Carl Kenner and was originally intended to be a way of emulating keyboard and mouse using a virtual glove. The project grew to be more than just allowing a virtual glove, and there is now tremendous support for using the emulator with a Wiimote. Once downloaded from the creator's site, dozens of scripts are available which allow one to play first person shooters, manipulate Google Earth, or operate Firefox all through the use of just a Wiimote. These scripts are openly available to look at and modify. An example of what the scripts look like can be seen by clicking the image below:
