Wii – the future of computer interaction
Does the Wii remote control really represent the future of human-computer interaction?
Nintendo has revolutionised the gaming industry with the Wii games console, bringing fun and physicality to the otherwise finger-and-thumbs world of video games.
But one clever technologist, armed with a handful of cheap electronic components, has upped the game even further.
Johnny Chung Lee has posted three short YouTube videos which bring the futuristic vision of Stephen Spielberg’s Minority Report a little closer to reality – thanks to a touch of Blue Peter practicality.
Is this really the future of human-computer interaction? Perhaps not, but it does pose some interesting questions about how soon we might be able to bypass the keyboard and mouse and interact with technology in a more natural and intuitive way (and have more fun blasting videogame bad-guys too).
