I bet my Wii, this becomes the physics teacher favorite forum!
I can think on so many experiments to do with the Wiimote and it's accelerometer, that I'm going crazy. oh Physics!! my favorite class at school.

So the third would be forward backward. At least I hope so...  |

I have had nothing to do with any physics classes but I'm pretty sure that Y is forward/backward, Z is up/down and X is left/right (though this depends on yaw/roll/tilt). |
