Youtube Leanback is an interesting experiment that brings a TV-like experience to Youtube.
We earlier gave a sneak preview of how Leanback can be controlled by Nintendo Wii Remote and the product is now ready for download.
The product (still in pre-release state)
-
Allows you to control YouTube Leanback using a Nintendo Wii remote instead of being tethered to a keyboard. The Wii console is not required, just Windows XP or newer, a Wii remote, and a Bluetooth
dongle (could work with built-in Bluetooth like some laptops have but this has not been tested) -
Allows you to control the volume of videos while watching, something YouTube Leanback can not do.
This gives you the full ultimate couch potato experience; wireless remote control over YouTube video watching with the Wii remote from the comfort of your easy chair.

Mind you, this software don’t need the Wii console, just the remote!
