Wii Motion Plus Delivers Better Motion Feedback, At A Cost

Both sites express concern about the added cost, as well as the fact that a lot of new games are going to make this a required purchase.

Xbox 360 Live Dashboard Getting Motion-Controlled Minority Report 3D Interface

Kotaku's pirate ear to the ground is picking up from sources that the Live dashboard will be updated with a spanky new interface option: what Crecente says is a Minority Report-like 3D interface that'll make use of that long-rumored motion controller.

How an NHL star becomes a video game actor

NHL star Rick Nash of the Columbus Blue Jackets gets ready to be filmed in a motion-capture session for the forthcoming 2K Sports video game NHL 2K9. The idea is that by placing specially reflective markers all over his body and his hockey stick, the technicians can capture fully 3D film of his motion as he skates on a floor of synthetic ice. Then, the data captured by the cameras can be incorporated into the video game so that Nash's skating appears as realistic as possible. Here, Nash prepares to have the markers on his suit calibrated with the 56 cameras in the 2K Sports studio in Novato, Calif., where the motion-capture session took place.
