# Redesigning The Wiimote 10 Cool Wii-creations By mediterranean | Published 2008-07-16 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/redesigning-the-wiimote References: [theterminallyjuvenile.blogspot](http://theterminallyjuvenile.blogspot.com/2008/07/new-vision-for-wii.html) & [design-matin.ovh.org](http://design-matin.ovh.org/?p=373) **Design Matin** has come up with ten concepts that re-imagine the innovative [Nintendo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nintendo-switoo) remote control, the Wiimote, as a [functional household object](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soom). 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 . ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 63% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/games) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Reimagined Controller Designs:** Exploring the potential for innovative designs that transform traditional controllers into functional household objects like mixers and bowls. - **Multi-functional Remote Controls:** Integrating various functionalities and features into remote controls to enhance their usefulness in different domains. - **Creative Utilization of Vibration Features:** Leveraging the vibration function of remote controls for unconventional purposes such as mixing ingredients or hairstyling. ### Who This Affects Most - **Gaming Accessories:** Exploring opportunities for gaming accessory manufacturers to create unique and functional designs that appeal to a wider audience. - **Home Appliances:** Collaborating with game console companies to integrate gaming features into everyday household objects, creating a seamless user experience. - **Beauty and Haircare:** Developing innovative hairstyling tools that leverage the vibration functionality of remote controls and offer unique styling options to consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stylish Voice-Powered Remotes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wiim-voice-remote-2.md) - [Industrial Gaming Controller Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dyson-gamepad.md) - [Shapeshifting Game Controllers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapeshifting-game-controller.md) - [Modular Gaming Controller Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multiverse-controller.md) - [Modular Next-Gen Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nintendo-switoo.md) - [Tactile Smart Home Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/from-design-concept.md) - [Realistic Weaponry Game Controllers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vir-controller.md) - [Projector-Equipped Gaming Controllers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concept-gaming-accessory.md) - [Virtual Reality Bendable Controllers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cogito-concept.md)
