Another application that Nintendo Wii has brought out is the Wii board. It fascinates me how a living space will slowly be turned into a full on gaming atmosphere where a user is not just sitting infront and interacting in a game but actually an actor in the game.
The one thing I hope that will occur is that photorealistic gaming – such as Crysis on the PC will eventually become interactive like the Wii. I would never go outside again!
So the Wii Board…
Access information on how the user is positioned and the direction of weight distributed by leaning one way or another – quite like a skater.
Wii Fit doesn't currently use the Wii Remote for gameplay, but imagine using a Wii Remote in your hand as a gun while leaning left and right on the Balance Board to take cover. Games could become a whole lot more immersive.
Comes with the Wii Fit collection include ski jumping. You crouch into a skiing position as the on-screen character shoots down a ramp, and spring up suddenly to leap from the ramp and then lean forward to get the biggest jump distance possible.
Another game has you leaning your torso left and right to make an on-screen footballer head back incoming balls. While another mini game gives you control of a tilting platform with rolling balls that you must guide into holes in the platform.
