Touchable Holography

I must admit--the Japanese seem to always think two steps ahead of everyone else. While most people are still innovating on current hologram technology, the Japs are putting it to the next level--by letting users feel the 3D images! And they're using Wii sensors and air to help them achieve it.

Don't believe me? Watch the video below:





Now I'm really wondering what's next from here...

Wiierd Stuff

No, I didn't misspell that :)

Yahoo Games featured an article about what could probably be the most dangerous Wii accessory to date: CTA Digital's Bowling Ball Controller. CTA Digital claims that this is the first ever Wii accessory to be "fashioned" after a real bowling ball (weight and all). That should sound scary, if in case of a freak accident, this Bowling Ball Controller suddenly slips out of a player's hand and flies right into somebody's precious Ming vase. Or worse, somebody's head.

But that's just looking at the worst case scenario. CTA Digital has fitted the thing with a wrist strap to secure it in the player's hand, even though their disclaimer is all but encouraging.

And you think this Bowling Ball Controller is weird? Wait till you see the list of other weird Wii stuff from Yahoo Games, like this Riiflex that's supposed to be a dumbell replica. Why not just hit the gym? Read the rest of the article by clicking here.
