The Nintendo Wii has revolutioned video gaming by giving users the ability to physically interact with games via the Wiimote. The wiimote has motion sensing capability, which allows you to manipulate items on the screen via the use of the accelerometer and optical sensor technology. One of the best games that demonstrates the wiimotes capabilities would have to be Wii Sports. The bowling, golfing, boxing, baseball and tennis game bundled in the Wii Sports package make you feel like you are actually playing a real game. Of course, it was only a matter of time before someone else took the idea to the next level. That someone else, is Johnny Lee.
Johnny recently graduated with a PhD from Carnegie Mellon in Human-Computer Interaction. You probably already know Johnny from his popular Wiimote experiments which he documented on his website. In any case, Johnny really got the attention of Microsoft where he now works as a researcher in the Applied Sciences group. Since he started at Microsoft he has been working on Project Natal. Project Natal allows you to have the Wii user experience without any controllers (So that means they will have to charge more for the console). The video below speaks for itself.
