Hey all,
I'm returning to one of my two favorite subjects, gaming and robots. I was reading this morning about Nintendo being in development for games that require no controllers whatsoever. Players body movements will be registered as interacting with the game playing on the screen. This technology reminds me of "Total Recall" where Sharon Stone was playing tennis with a hologram, and the hologram was correcting the form of her serve. (Anybody remember that movie...?)
With the new Nintendo technology, if a ball flys at you, you kick and the ball reacts. I'm sure they have to refine the accuracy and sensitivity to human movements. I could see a lot of educational applications for this too, like nursing training, surgery, etc. (make your mistakes on the game, not on people!)
Hey, if anybody wants to steal that idea, I'm giving it away. You'd better patent it first though. If you make big bucks, remember your friend Danni...
I couldn't find a pic of Sharon playing tennis but here's other images from Total Recall:
