Posted in Medical News by Mat Packer.
By now many of us are familiar with Nintendo’s Wii Fit, if not you can find out more information here, well now we’ve got the Wii Vitality sensor, Nintendo’s new addition to their revolutionary Wiimote game controller was announced at the recent E3 gaming industry expo in the USA.
From the press release – “Nintendo’s newest groundbreaking product, the Wii Vitality Sensor, expands the appeal of video games. It will initially sense the user’s pulse and a number of other signals being transmitted by their bodies, and will then provide information to the users about the body’s inner world.”
Straight away the applications are obvious, apart from integration with the Wii Fit platform, there’s a host of medical potential in Children’s Hospitals all over the world. How much easier would it be to check on your patients vitals if it was in the form of a game?
It’s certainly a converging world now with all sorts of technologies merging and becoming useful in so many ways we’ve never dreamt of in the past.
