3DV Systems’ Z-Camera: Game interaction post-Wii?

IGN Wii Editor Matt Casamassina recently posted video on his blog of 3DV Systems’ Z-Camera technology, which was showing at GDC. It looks pretty impressive--enabling body motion sensing in 3D without the need for an input device. As the comments on Matt’s blog indicate, there’s obviously going to be many applications for which you want to be holding something anyway, but the idea that that something could be a cheap plastic toy instead of an electronic device is an intriguing one. Matt hopes Nintendo is considering the tech for Wii 2--what should Nintendo do for Wii 2, anyway?

That is some amazing technology and should be implemented ASAP. I recently saw another impressive piece of Wii-like technology, and here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jd3-eiid-Uw

Yeah, that head-tracking thing is awesome. A friend of mine e-mailed it to me with the message: “i’m afraid you’re no longer a shoo-in for King Wii Dork in ‘08...” Don’t think I ever was, but waah! anyway! smile
