The new wave of motion-sensitive games may have made Wii a household name, but now they have stiff competition from Sixense. The company has queue-jumped with their brand-spanking newborn system that they call TrueMotion 3D.
This system that doesn't just rely on an accelerometer, it also has a controlled magnetic field that can track the position of both of your hands in a 3D space.
This is the next generation of gaming.
Implications - In today's society, individuals relish in products featuring DIY qualities. Such products offer relief to the sense of helplessness and lack of control experienced by so many after the recent economic recession. Highly interactive products will likely see very large returns.
