New Type of 3D Game Controller Harnesses MEMS Gyro

Posted by Soulskill on Friday May 1, 2009 @06:12PM from the more-hand-waving dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A new category of 3-D motion controller for gamers uses a novel type of micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) gyroscope to track hand motions with unparalleled accuracy. By detecting the natural motions made by remote control users — as opposed to the unnatural motions that gamers must learn to control today — the MEMS chip is sure to be incorporated in both game consoles and other consumer electronics like TV remote controls. Nintendo has already incorporated a similar MEMS gyro into its forthcoming MotionPlus controller for the Wii, but this newer type of gyroscopic motion sensor will enable even more intuitive and agile control."

Or the editors could just be editors and distinguish between a press release, a biased article because it's based on nothing but a press release and an actual news article with some objective reporting.
Of course that would mean we need to get someone other than monkeys to be editors.
