Uses a wireless controller to provide a system\/human interface.  The interface senses the position and motion of the human operating the controller.  These messages are transmitted  the console and displayed in conjunction with the game on screen. FUN!!!!!!!<br \/>\n<br \/>\n2. there are alternate applications stemming from the Wii system.  These include: inexpensive whiteboard system, similar to a smartboard, a collaborative tool which allows choreographers to interact from multiple locations with other dancers while the entire experience can be displayed on screen.  Wii has also been used an interactive training tool for surgeons at ASU.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n3.  Wii-mote uses an accelerometer, an infrared camera, and user operated buttons that transmit signals to the console, which is then connected to a display device such as a television.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n4.  Education significance is in the potential to create new applications and devices outside of just video games. These applications are realistic approximations of real life experiences, in a low risk, low cost setting.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n5. While the hardware is relatively inexpensive, there are other aspects which are prohibitive, such as having people to create software, and potential damage from improper use, and possible injury.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n6. This technology has other implications for usage in other interfaces. (iPhone, Clickers, and control devices for Powerpoint.)<br \/>\n<br \/>\n7.  Can be a valuable teaching aid, particularly in disciplines such as physics, which allows for real time student interaction with models,can be used to simulate medical procedures.  Makes the connection between physical environment and kinesthetic learning.  Multiple approaches allows for deeper retention of content.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]}],"more":false},"comments":[]},"http":{"code":200,"status":"OK"},"redirectUrl":null,"javascript":null,"notices":{"warning":[],"error":[],"info":[],"success":[]}}
