How does Nintendo Wii works

Hello friends, I hope all of you are fine, have seen my previous post about Digital camera, today I will post about Nintendo Wii, let us see how it works?

(Nintendo is the same company who created the world famous game Mario ) well, that was the fist game, that i played with video game

. 

Nintendo Wii

With the launch of Wii, Nintendo tried to cause a revolution in

the world of video-game consoles. Wii, the fifth generation of

Nintendo's video-game consoles and part of the seventh

generation of video gaming, is the successor to Nintendo's GameCube.

Wii has several features intended to help a wider audience play video

games and get closer to the world of virtual reality. Among them are

sophisticated wireless commands that transfer tactile effects, such as

blows and vibrations; infrared sensors that detect the position of the

player in a room and convey the information to the console; and

separate controls for each hand. Wii was a commercial success from

the moment of its launch in December 2006.

The Console

is the brain of Wii. Its slim

design (a mere 1.7 inches [4.4

cm] wide) plays the games that are

loaded on standard 4.7-inch (12-cm)

discs, accepting both single- and

double-layered discs.

System

has an IBM PowerPC processor,

ports for four controllers, two USB

ports, slots for memory expansion,

stereo sound, and support for playing

videos on panoramic 16:9 screens.

Connectivity

The console connects with the

Internet (it includes Wi-Fi wireless

connection), from which it can

receive updates 24 hours a day to

add or upgrade features.

The Movement Sensor

A player's movements are

detected by means of a flexible

silicon bar inside the Wiimote.

This bar moves within an electric

field generated by capacitors.

The player's movements cause

the bar to change the electric

field. The change is detected and

transmitted to the infrared

sensor, which translates it into

the movements of the virtual

character. 

Infrared sensor

detects the player's
position from up to a
distance of 32 feet
(10 m) or 16 feet (5
m) during use of the
pointer function
(used to indicate
points on the screen).

                                                                            The Wiimote

The Wiimote, the Wii's remote, differs from traditional game

consoles by looking more like a remote control than a videogame

controller. It was developed to be useable with just one hand.

 The Movement Sensor

 

A player's movements are

detected by means of a flexible

silicon bar inside the Wiimote.

This bar moves within an electric

field generated by capacitors.

The player's movements cause

the bar to change the electric

field. The change is detected and

transmitted to the infrared

sensor, which translates it into

the movements of the virtual

character.

Players

Up to four players

can participate

simultaneously in

the same game.

All of the sensors

use Bluetooth

wireless

technology

The “excessive enthusiasm” of some

early players caused worries about the

weakness of Wiimote straps, so

Nintendo decided to replace them with

safer ones and modified 3,200,000 units.
