SHARPENED SENSES
OK, so now that the iPhone 3G debut Tsunami has passed, what can we geeks look forward to next? Well, the gaming industry confab E3 is at hand, and there should be a spate of fun product announcements this week. An example would this cool item from Engadget on Nintendo's plan to sharpen the motion sensitivity of it's world-beating Wii platform controllers:
"While we saw it hinted at in patents,
Nintendo is springing quite the doozy on us at E3 in the form of its
new Wii MotionPlus add-on. Perhaps in a preemptive strike against
supposed Wiimote competition from the likes of Microsoft and Sony,
Nintendo is beefing up its motion support with this add-on, which is
supposed to proved "an unmatched level of precision and immersion,"
with sensors to supplement the accelerometer and sensor bar to provide
1:1 motion -- as in, I move my arm this much, my character moves his
arm that much. So far that's all we know about the unit, Nintendo will
be detailing more at its E3 media briefing tomorrow."
Kind of like Wii remote 3G, only without the 2-year service contract with AT&T.
