Exisisting Programming Project research
From Physical Programming
The first project I have come across uses Quartz Composer and a Wii Remote to control Google Earth.
At this stage I'm unable to find out how this was achieved exactly, but there is a link below to a youtube video of the project.

Looking further into the possibilities of this I found another site with some info.
My loose understanding is that a Mac application called DarwiinRemote interfaces to the Wii remote and gets controller data. This data is analysed in Quartz Composer by JavaScript patch and converted to AppleScript events (this part I'm unclear about) and then the event is sent to GoogleEarth to control movement.
