This Video shows the Wii Balance Board being used as WASD Movement for PC games. I always thought it would be kinda neat to try and with the Occulus Rift out now and the Razer Hydra, you could seemingly get a awesome VR experience for a relatively affordable price.

To use the Balance Board on your PC you need:

A Wii Balance Board
Bluetooth Dongle or built in bluetooth on your computer
Wii Balance Walker Program

I used the default Windows Bluetooth Stack for my PC to recognize the Wii balance Board, once that is done you need to start up the Wii Balance Walker Program and use the Connection button in the program. Then turn on the keyboard controls switch on the program and it should hopefully be good to go.

Huge thanks to:
