Ok it was either e3 in 04 or 05 James cameron and George lucas met behind closed doors w/nintendo, because nintendo was looking at the application (3d) with the gamecube.

I couldnt find anything on it til now this is the link to lucas/new theatre. Nintendo was toying with incorporating it into the game unit, then all of a sudden the wii hype began. anyway I hope this technology ends up on a home console, i remember reading it would sit in back of your room or even on top of the tv(like the wiimote sensor)

Could you imagine 3d digital games? with an interactive controller?

 It's still comming along. I see tid-bits on it from time to time.

What I'm just now thinking about is, there is a TV, I cant rember what brand it was, that can do true 3D image. I dont think it's out yet, but they have working prototypes. This would be AMAZING for that. 

imitation is the best form of flattery.  wii fans should be happy sony is going the direction of motion control.

the controller in itself is nothing innovative.  the devil's in the details--like the wii mote.  why did nobody make a pointing device?  why did nobody do motion control earlier?  it's nothing they can't do before, it's just that they all have various problems, both technically and on a design level, and putting all of them together and still have an appealing end consumer product is far from trivial.

if sony wants to bring it to the market, it's all about how the execution.  even the greatest idea will fail if it's not carried out properly.  for the wiimote, the sum is much, much greater than the parts.  

pfff

 they already patented stuff that you controll with your brain waves, and some other thing that jacks into your brain ala matrix. 

Sony really is getting desperate. Those poor assholes there can't compete so they have to imitate like a bunch of amateurs. I say they drop out of the market and do something else instead of fucking around with the game market.

 stupidity at its best.

Sony is obviously taking some lessons from nintendo and trying to steal some of their market share.  I don't think that they will be as successful with this venture as say, its other ideas, b/c gameplay has never been a big part of their strategy for Sony's games division. 

Also, i'm not convinced that the wii remote will be relevant after a couple of years anyway, so this seems even more irrelevant.

Imitation isn't necessarily a bad thing, as all works of art, are in some way built upon the foundations set by other artwork.  not convinced?  what about microsoft's windows operating system?  that came from apple.  there are too many examples to list cursayer...

 It's hardly a "venture."  It's just a patent.  Patents can sit around and do nothing for decades...

I just wanna say imitation is good.

Because if it was. A game console, wouldnt exist. Because they are just simple computers... but their NOT! So their imitations of computers. Thus BAD! What'd you say? Nintendo was one of the first to imitate a computer? That's bad? Nintendo is bad? OK!

Imitation is good. Here is an example of why.

No imitation = monopoly

Monopoly = BAD

Atari had a joystick... That was use as a 'controller' for a game... nintendo 'imitated' that. Nintendo could have always... done something diffrent... that probibally wouldnt have worked.

Imitation is good.
