I was sent a link to this YouTube video a couple of days ago, and it took me a bit of time to get around to watching it in its entirety. When you stop to think about what this means for the future of gaming, the future looks pretty cool. This type of thing could give a whole new element to not only first-person shooters, but many other game types too.
The video was done by Johnny Lee, now a quasi-famous Internet personality for a series of articles he’s done about Wii-hardware-related topics on YouTube. The other two being Finger Tracking and the Multi-Touch Whiteboard.

The software for the demos are available from his website. All of the PC development work has been done in C# using the Direct-X SDK and Visual C# Express (which I’ve blogged about before).
After seeing these videos I want a Wii more than ever.

I saw this video fairly recently as well! I found it to be pretty amazing. I haven’t tried out any of the demos though…do you know it if actually works?
