Looks like it's SUPER slow to respond.

an interesting concept that might be cool for kiosks and such, but i see some problems with using this for video games. it's not portable, and you have to stay within a certain area. remember the sega activator?

Who wants to stand to play video games. It's all I want to do just to reach into the bag of potato chips and cram them in my mouth. I want to move my thumbs and trigger finger.

What?!? you want me to stand upright to play?

Hiro Nakamura approves

It could be a good start for virtual gaming, say you suround yourself in a room of sensors. This could become one of the biggest breakthorghs ever. It could lead to the first ever reality game where you actually have to take into account the force and motion put upon a subject to move it.

This could lead to something big, such as a room full of sensors, and maybe the very first human reality game.

thats really cool

I couldn't understand a word the guy said. Might as well be speaking Japanese.

That's why I was said it's quite basic. But knows, perhaps their technology will evolve to the point in which only a Wii-style sensor bar is needed.

It seems pretty similar to a Theremin, and operates on the same principle. Nintendo could make a Theremin-style controller right now. In fact, that would be a pretty neat idea.

We used quite a similar techique in our "sensisphere" project (sensisphere.de). But why do they try to oprate a helicoper simulation with this. A joystick would be much more realistic! There are a thousand more interesting applications to show the potential of such a device...

reminds me of the U-Force

They're gonna Censor my hand?

Are they afraid I might make obscene gestures..?
