Wii sensor to enhance controls
LOS ANGELES — The latest gadget from Nintendo isn’t all that charming.
It isn’t as zany as a zapper or as sexy as a steering wheel.
It doesn’t even tell whether someone is losing weight.
Yet the game maker hopes that the cube-shaped device, called the Wii MotionPlus, will take the Wii motion-sensing controls to a new level of precision.
As many folks know, the lack of accuracy with the wrist-flicking Wii Remote has long stood out as a downside.
The Wii MotionPlus, to be released June 8, overcomes the obstacle by using gyroscopic sensors to mimic hand movements exactly — for on-screen seamlessness with activities such as golfing and sword fighting.
