The Wii mote has been a huge change in gaming since the
additions of more than two buttons, and Nintendo has always been on the forefront
of gaming technology. With the
introduction of the home gaming system to the current Wii U gaming system Nintendo
has tried many different types of controllers. From the square NES controller
to the Tablet used on the Wii U, They like to try different types of technology
with their controllers. They have made controllers from a tri-winged system to
the GameCube controller, but one of the most unique was the Wii mote.
This
controller was designed off of the original design of a flash gun to look at
screen locations and to make one that was able to use an RF system Nintendo
decided to look into how computer mice work. This allowed them to gain a huge knowledge
base on how to design the RF system used to make it not have a cord attached to
the console, and be able to track location on the screen. Although this was a
really key part of the device it’s not the only unique part of this controller.
The
next big addition to this controller was an accelerometer, which allowed
tracking to do so much more. This also allowed the controller to track its
specific location and be used in the games they were designing. By doing so they also took gaming to a new
level and help break into a new style of gaming that helped accelerate the
casual games that come on mobile devices. The concept for using this device also
came from the tracking methods used in computer mice to find locations.
Overall
the device is very unique for a controller and has allowed gaming to expand in
a much different way, this has also allowed technology to take advantage of
this and make unique ideas based on the expanded area this controller makes.
This also did make it a bit more dangerous but has been used in really unique
ways.
