Re: Interface Bridging Mind And Body: The Wiimote

[Guest guest]

Great article! I have to share about the Wii. Santa brought one for

Christmas and we have been having a great time with it. I have not

bowled since I dislocated my peroneal tendon while bowling a few

years ago and it was so nice to do it again. It's so realistic that I

really feel like I'm doing it. Then my husband challenged me to a

game of tennis. While playing I was telling him how I haven't played

tennis in over 15 years because I kept dislocating my shoulder. The

next swing, my shoulder popped out of joint and I ended up in a heap

on the floor. Whenever that happens, it's like a lightening bolt and

I go deaf, blind and loose the power of speech. He just looked at me

and said, " it went out of joint?? " Yep. Damn, a little too realistic

for some stuff. So, I still bowl (on the Wii) but no more real OR

virtual tennis for me. Since then I've talked to a lot of people who

have developed " Wii-shoulder " which is just a really sore shoulder

from all the tennis, golf, baseball and bowling.
