You may know the electronic device pictured above as the Wii sensor bar. If that’s the case, then you have some shopping to do. Because that device is actually a vampire in disguise — it doesn’t work near the sun.
We still aren’t sure if the sun can directly kill this metal beast, because this is the first of it’s kind. But we do know that it will not function when sunlight touches it. Here’s what a Nintendo forum member had to say:
We know that the sensor bar goes all wonky when halogen lights are in the room. But did you know that natural sunlight messes it up too? That’s right, if you have the sun beaming right onto the sensor bar, it doesn’t work. For about an hour or so, the sun shone right into the store, the two MP3:C kiosks had to have curtains above them, and the Wii Sports Tennis and Shooting Game kiosks were unplayable since they were “shrouded” in sunlight. Later the sun went behind a building, and everything was in working order again. So when you get your Wii, don’t play it in the sunlight. Or keep the sensor bar and TV away from the windows.
يقول عضو في منتدى موقع نينتندو الرسمي أن الـsensor bar اللي يعتمد عليه الويموت في التصويب على الشاشة، ما يشتغل في حالة وجود أشعة شمس موجهة مباشرة عليه. طبعاً معروف من قبل أن أنوار الهالوجين ممكن تؤثر على عمله.
هذا شي سلبي بالتأكيد وقد يكون مزعج .. لكن بما أن الـsensor bar يوضع تحت شاشة التليفزيون ما في مشكلة. مين يخلي شاشة التليفزيون تحت أشعة الشمس المباشرة؟
طبعاً للتوضيح فقط، الويموت ما يحتاج للـsensor إلا في التصويب والتوجيه. الاحساس بالحركة والتحكم العادي والننتشك يشتغلون في جميع الحالات.
