Carl Kenner's GlovePie is gaining a lot of attention from Wii users. Basically, the guy made Ninty's next-gen controller into a PC accessory and in fact, its latest version was released just a few hours ago. Now there are a lot of people tinkering with this creation, including someone called coulston. He shared with us just what he can do with a Wiimote and GlovePie.

coulston did a Wiimote GlovePie script called WiiGoogleEarth. From the name itself, you know by now what it does. Basically, it enables a Google Earth interface for the Wii remote. To use it, tilt the Wiimote to move around, press B and tilt to rotate, press plus and minus to control zoom, and press one for a full-screen view.

Go ahead and watch the video, it sure looks fun!
