Over Spring Break while I was away, my student developer Stephen has been quietly updating his team’s game engine with alternative control mechanisms. What is really exciting is his work utilizing the G1 as a Wii-like controller. All this was inspired by what the folks at Media Lab were doing with their Sixth Sense project. I pressured him to throw up some videos of this in action as I love the fact he is exploring new methods of control and access integrating the stationary yet powerful desktop with a mobile interface that may introduce a new social dynamic. I cannot wait to see the fruits of his labor!
