That is at least six kinds of awesome.

Will Nintendo do anything about it? That's the question.

[David Yun]

No, and I don't want them to.

I hear he was picked up by Microsoft.

It's police 911.... but you look dorkier playing this one.

I was just impressed by the innovation and ingenuity. Look at his other Wiimote hacks. They're pretty cool, too. But, that being said, I don't think that this will ever pan out into an actual commercial product. I think that anything that the consumer would have to "wear" will appeal to a nitch market at best.

[Zeke]

Ummm, isn't the wii a niche market with all those attachments to the controller?

[Parsifal]

This look familiar to anyone?
Unfortunately I hear the actual implimentation is spotty. The cameras on the DSi map your face and track your position relative to the screen. But slight variances in ambient light or changes in distance can throw off the software and require recalibration.
