Just to follow up on the Wii discussion yesterday, and Gareth's post, here are some interesting Wii-related links. I haven't yet got the Wiimote working with my Windoze laptop - there are some issues with Bluetooth drivers which I hope to resolve next week - but all the info needed to do this can be found at this first link:
- WiiLi - A project to produce a version of Linux that will run on the Wii. At the moment more interesting because of the information available about the technology, and in particular the 'Wiimote'.
- LiveMove - A video demo of software designed to record Wiimote 'gestures' that can then be used in games...
- People playing Wii - IMHO a superb piece of publicity - footage showing 'normal' people playing the Wii...
- Iwata Asks - Obviously this is to some extent intended as publicity for the Wii but it gives a little insight into the reasoning behind the Wii design.
- Wii radio control car - The WiiBot is interesting, but it seems to me that the input is basically acting as a switch to set off pre-recorded movements. If genuine this clip shows some Wiimote control without latency...
- Cooking Mama - Just for fun... a trailer for a rather amusing looking game, which for some obscure reason reminds me of the utterly bizarre fish chopping game :)
