−The IR camera has an effective field of view is about 33 degrees horizontally and 23 degrees vertically (as measured on one unit). With the IR-pass filter intact, 940nm sources are detected with approximately twice the intensity of equivalent 850nm sources, but are not resolved as well at close distances. If the filter is removed, it can track any bright object.

If the filter is removed, it can track any bright object. However, the IR filter referred to here is not only the dark plastic window of the wiimote but also a teensy slab of dichroic-coated glass inside the camera module. One may operate the wiimote having installed neither, one or the other, or both filters.
