Help: Hooking Wii up in a Movie Theatre

You're not understanding. A wireless sensor bar is simply a bar of lights powered by batteries. It has no connection to the Wii in any way.

As long as your Wiimote can maintain a connection to the Wii, it doesn't matter how far away you are.

The only thing that travels through the cord of the Sensor Bar is Power. That is why the wireless bars/candles work. The wiimote uses the infared points to triangulate. This is why you have to choose on the menu to have the sensor bar above or below the TV/Screen.

That is why the guy earlier said that as long as the BLUETOOTH connection between the Wii and the Wiimote is there, it will work (aka, you could have the Wii in the projector booth and be standing below it.)

Having the sensor bar near the screen would be 90 feet.

See you DON'T understand. The bar doesn't need to be under or near the screen. Do you want me to make a video of me with the bar away from the tv? I'll even go CRAZY and use the bar WHILST FACING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION! DUN DUN DUN!!!
