Roll your own Wii-mote
What do you do when every game store within a 50 mile radius has run out of Wii Remotes and your friends are demanding (demanding!) to play Wii Sports together? Well, those crazy Italians from the Interaction Design Venice workshop have it all figured out apparently. Make your own!
During one intensive week students built their own Wii remote (Wiimote) and designed original Wii mini-games, learning a bit of electronics, rapid prototyping and game interaction design in the process. See how they did it and build your own!
I am quite impressed that the homebrew community has done SO MUCH with the Wii remote. People have used it to control games on their PCs, they have hacked the sensor bar to use candles, made wireless sensor bars, even used Wii remotes to control robotic arms. Even though we have a massive game drought that we will most likely just have to get used to, the innovation is pouring out of people.
What say you?!
