Gamers as Forensic Artists - Nintendo Wii Console Used to Create Mii for Wanted Poster in Japan
Nintendo Wii Console Used to Create Mii for Wanted Poster in Japan

Avid gamers can add one more possible career path to their collection: Forensic sketch artist. This wanted poster for a hit-and-run driver above features a Mii created on Nintendo Wii’s Mii creator instead of a traditional hand-drawn or computer-aided sketch.

The Mii creator lets gamers create a digital avatar using the Wii interface. While the basic details are conveyed—like the suspect’s glasses, angled face and long hair—I have a sinking feeling this type of forensic sketch will only grow in popularity despite its apparent uselessness for crime-fighting.
