Those hard core hackers out there have probably heard of Johnny Lee of the Human Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, but for those of you who don’t, take a look at the below video. He is doing some amazing things with Wii remotes, including using them to create a homemade digital whiteboard, a touchscreen and a head-mounted 3-D viewer. Truly remarkable stuff that provides a glimpse into the possibilities for the future of gaming. Here’s his presentation at Ted Talks, an annual summit of some of the brightest minds on the planet:
I know lightning will probably strike me for posting this on a Wii blog, but I feel I owe it to all of our loyal gamers out there… Dell is currently running a really good deal on two Xbox 360 console bundles. I don’t see how prices could get much better as we move into the holiday shopping season. Full disclosure: My Wii News is not affiliated with Dell or this promotion.
First is the Microsoft Xbox 360 Arcade Holiday Bundle for $169.99 when you use the $30 Off coupon: NC383L9N3B4M45. This bundle includes 5 Xbox Live Arcade Games as well as SEGA Superstars Tennis.
They also have the Microsoft Xbox 360 Elite Holiday Bundle for $329.99 when you use the $70 Off coupon: 9VZC3829M7GXC9. This bundle comes with LEGO Indiana Jones, Kung Fu Panda and the larger 120GB hard drive.
When ordering, if a pop up box appears, select “Home or Home Office”. Also, if it shows that the console is out of stock, add it to your shopping cart as you normally would, check out, and your console will ship when they are next available.
