Default Re: The Wii Balance Board: the possibilities

First of all, the technology is hardly revolutionary, and I don't see it as mind-blowing at all, to be honest. It's a board that detects which side the pressure is on, mixed with angle, and a scale for weight.
Way to go Nintendo, you just ripped off every Virtual War arcade game from the early 90's, but made it compact.

OooOoo.



And I don't think this would do well for any type of game, other than an aerobic one.

Since it measures angle, and weight, for a surfing game (for example) the learning curve would be a lot harder than actually going out, surfing, and getting real exercise.

I don't see it as anything useful, in any aspect.
