An interesting development. Nintendo have announced a new add-on called the Wii MotionPlus that plugs in to the bottom of the Wiimote to give movement tracking. Nintedo are promising near one-to-one movement so that any movement of the arm can be replicated on the screen. This has great potential for game play but for WyyMi it means that movements can be tracked better. With this Wyymi can provide training in a much larger range of movements with better feedback.
MTV have the details, such as they are, but here is the bulk of it:
Nintendo’s upcoming Wii MotionPlus accessory for the revolutionary Wii Remote controller again redefines game control, by more quickly and accurately reflecting motions in a 3-D space. The Wii MotionPlus accessory attaches to the end of the Wii Remote and, combined with the accelerometer and the sensor bar, allows for more comprehensive tracking of a player’s arm position and orientation, providing players with an unmatched level of precision and immersion. Every slight movement players make with their wrist or arm is rendered identically in real time on the screen, providing a true 1:1 response in their game play.Source: First E3 Surprise - Nintendo Unveils ‘Motion Plus’ Wii Add-On
