Here’s part of what I’ve been working on over the last few days.
The Wii Nunchuck is connected to my Arduino using I2C.
For now, the webcam is just a standard webcam with the housing removed, and connected via USB.
It uses hacked up code from here and here.
(If you want to make something like this, Making Things Talk is an outstanding book.)
Here’s a sample video:
[update]: Hello Hack a Day people! 
[update]: As Dokument says, here’s an almost identical setup created long before I did this.
[update]: If you don’t want to cut the end off your Wii Nunchuck, you can buy one of these.

Pretty sweet hack. Reminds me of something you’d strap to an RC car in order to spy on somebody/something.

I have that same bread board with a StickDuino on it with a almost similar project. Only difference is the nunchuck data is used to make MIDI and help me make music.
C button = note 1
Z button = note 2
X axis determines what note 1 is
y axis determines what note 2 is
Z axis can be used to to define the modulation
joy stick has different effects. chords based on note 1 and 2
Lots of fun to use with Reason to make trance

Saw your hacker space photo on BNM. This is lovely. Got my arduino but have yet to do anything with it. Saw some nice stuff with the Wii and Java at a developer update. Used wood board, LEDs, Wii, projector and java to project image of playing card on to wooden board. On rotating the board the image rotated too. Almost want to get a Wii now.

Certainly is almost identical! Duly updated my post to reflect this.

Hey Jason, sounds cool! The Wii Nunchuck I used only cost about £10
Very sweet buck. Tickie tickie tickie
ZOMG am I the only one that is excited that the video had kraftwerk playing in the background?

One note:
it doesn’t seem a real connection between Arduino and Air so the post title is not so right.
It’s seem that your Arduino manages the Wii Controller + Servos and a standalone application to display the cam moved from your Arduino
Am I wrong?
