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.
