Default Re: Nintendo/Revolution Press Conference

Does anybody know how the 'pointer' works? I think it contains 3 transmittors that are being 'read' by the thing you put on your TV. But my question is, does it have to get a visual? Is it like infrared, where anything in it's way will break the connection?

I highly doubt it, but why then does that pointer have that glassy thing on the front? Why will we have to place the reader on or near our TV and why isn't it just built in the Revolution?

It's funny that the pointer doesn't even contain ANY gyroscopic technology.
