source: Ball-It
This is outrageous. While Nintendo is an inspiration for all, there is a company, a Finnish company to be exact trying to beat the amazing Wii Mote by creating their own Ball-It remote.
It is a ball that you can squeeze, connect to the phones, connect to the PC, and make it into a joystick that allows you shoot or play tennis.
Being dupe as the “Wii Mote killer”, there has been quite a lot of attention towards Ball-It. Some says this is the magic ball that makes the impossible seems possible.
The ball is able to sense geomagnetic field, orientation, direction, speed, air pressure and acceleration so you can expect the ball to do anything that might seems impossible.
Surprisingly, this Finnish company is not the first to create such a gadget to ‘kill’ the wiimote, there are other companies that have been trying with luck to invent something much better to override Nintendo Wii’s remote control.
According to Venturebeat,
“In one game demo, I was able to use the ball to play a game of billiards on a Nokia phone. The ball-it ball becomes the cue.”
So, you can imagine how exciting it can be using Ball-It to play games but what about Wii Mote? Will Wii More able to survive such a terrific gadget?
