Johnny Lee is a nerd’s nerd. He wasn’t simply satisfied with owning the hard to find Wii. No, Mr. Lee wanted to make a cool little gaming system even cooler. And he succeeded. That’s a nerd’s nerd.
Specifically, Mr. Lee is behind the famous tech demo using a pair of glasses to make the Wii present actual 3D images using head tracking software. In turn, this technique will now be used in Electronic Arts Boom Blox title. Not too shabby Mr. Lee, but he wasn’t done there. A new tech demo shows off using the Wii as a virtual whiteboard, a use that Lee notes could save schools thousands of dollars. Again, not too shabby.
Here’s something that nobody really seemed to be asking for. What if there was a way to integrate the PS3 with the iPhone? That way, you would never have to put down your new gadget iPhone, even when playing with your new gadget PS3.
Sure, rumors that the iPhone was prepared to take on Nintendo and Sony may have been scoffed at in the past, but is anyone laughing now? Sega recently premiered a demo of Super Monkey Ball (perhaps their best creation post-Dreamcast) running on Apple’s iPhone. Developed using the iPhone’s new software development kit (SDK), the game is controlled using the tilt function of the device. Wait, so the iPhone is basically a Wii and DS in one? Uh oh.
