I ended up having a chat to Alex EVP on the matter (he works doing motion capture)
He told me that nintendo Wii controllers will not be able to transmit the data necessary quickly or steadily enough for the concept to work!
The other issue that sprung up in my head was how are you going to control the third axis, like when they twist round on themselves?
Pois spin round in a straight enough line, also up and down is no issue. But the other axis that pois spin is sometimes a bit chaotic and would not translate well into using as a midi / synth parameter, at least in my mind anyway.
That was why i decided that using a staff would be more controlled.

There is some things that can be done to compensate for the measurements not coming fast enough from the Wii. You can use interpolation based on previous data sent in.
As for the third axis, you could discard that data. |

Poi is the art of manipulating weighted objects on a tether (translation - balls on strings) - it comes originally from the Maori people of New Zealand but it has since been transformed into a new global art form, excercise, moving meditation, performance art...whatever you want it to be 
you can find info on poi @ http://www.homeofpoi.com, http://www.playpoi.com, or just google it...or check out my flickr page in my signature for poi pictures 
I have been doing fire/glow poi performances/workshops at psy festivals for the past...5-6 years? and have been spinning personally for 7
 If you want to make an apple pie from scratch...you must first invent the universe
