Move Over Wii: The Future of Motion Control Gaming may be at Hillcrest Labs

January 14, 2010 in News comments 3

Our source at Hillcrest labs, who prefers to remain anonymous, has confirmed that his company is now in talks in various stages with Sony, Microsoft and yes, Nintendo. And there is good reason why the big three are interested. To date, they own 29 patents in this area, and have already filed more than 100 more related patents.

The guys at Gizmodo were given a demo of it, and they went as far as retracting their earlier statements on how the technology was vaporware, and went on to say that "thing was amazing."

    I thought, from the little preview for the primary image, that it was going to be one of those big rings you sit in and moves around. Interesting article, I don't think I'm too interested in the shape though.

    As awesome as it might be, I'm still not interested in more motion controllers. Wii was enough on its own, since it felt kind of new, but any more motion controllers will probably just end up boring me half to death. And I'll probably go the other half once I begin to regret paying so much for them.
