What standard, household, object and emit infrared?
Besides a remote and a candle please..  I need something safer than a candle, and something more stable than a remote.
(This belongs in gaming because I'm using it to create a temporary Wii-Sensor bar until I get some IREDs.  K?)

cant think of anything except a remote :/
sensors that most modern houses seem to have (in the uk anyway) do i guess, but thats not very practical, as they emit it in all directions
google seems to tell me there are a ton of heaters that do too, but again, in all directions i guess

Toaster? Almost anything that emits heat is emitting infrared.

There are lamps that emit infra-red rays. Some in my house do, I know this because the Wiimote picked up signals from them lolz. It worked especially well with those small lamps you hang in christmas trees

Furbys emit infared!  XD

I think candles would be the best bet.  I know you said you didn't want to use candles, but why not?  Just make sure they're in a glass jar or whatever.

Hm... The Wii sensor bar can emit IF!

But in all seriousness, why wouldn't a remote work?

Does a remote constantly emit IR? I thought it only did if you pushed a button on it. And why don't you have a sensor bar in the first place?

The remote doesnt emit IR, it only picks it up.  Also, how bout a lamp?  Mine works fine when I dont feel like moving my chair and i'm facing the TV sideways.

Okay guys, Im going to Radioshack to get some IREDs.  Ill tell you how my wireless sensor bar is after I make it.

And about the remotes, Im using two TiVo Remotes, and they don't emit constnatly even when a button is held down, its VERY skippy.  After all, its not like its going to be a IR Remote for a game, now is it?
