So... finally I got a chance to play with the wii joystick. What an amazing feel. As most of you know, wii is the brand for the Nintendo latest game (read more here). There is one innovation in this game that makes this tool very ineresting. The wii joystick.
Technically the jopstick is build around motion sensing. and it works!
Wikipedia says:
The Wii Remote, also nicknamed "Wiimote," is the
primary controller for Nintendo's Wii console. The main
features of the Wii Remote are its motion sensing
capability, which allows the user to interact with and manipulate items on
screen via movement and pointing, as well as its expandability through the use
of attachments.
Be aware that some reported real demage caused by the wii... yes kids are really moving themselves breaking LCD and plasma screens as well as getting their pets heart.
The wii remote (that has API for Windows) can be used for many things... the nice thing about it that it make actions in virtual world seem easy.
Movie about the wii (nice examples)
Funny movie that compare the wii and playstation 3 (could be considered sexist to some).
(thanks for http://www.garagegeeks.org/ for the demo)

Wii and Second life and Web 2.0, are manifestations of what Heideger and the Pre-Socrates see as the trans-modern mode of thinking. This is thinking "by being there" not by Cartesian scientific violence against the Object (Objectivism) and against WE ((Wii are the Web, We are the children), Individualism)).
