Design Matin has come up with ten concepts that re-imagine the innovative Nintendo remote control, the Wiimote, as a functional household object.
The fun designs feature the kitchen friendly wii-mélange (mixer), wii-bol (bowel), and wii-manger (fork). Other visualizations include wii-lumière (light), wii-vernissage (glass), wii-coiffeur (scissors), Wii-ranger (hanger), and others.
I imagine the wiimote vibration function could be great for mixing flour and eggs with the wii-mélange, but could lead to disastrous hair styling when used in the wii-coiffeur .
