Research Paper:

Thesis: The Nintendo Wii as a tool for making interactive media/art. Topics explored will include; the blurring of simulation of actions and the actions themselves, videogames as art, wiimote hacking for use as an input device.

 

"The Nintendo Wii has introduced a fundamental change in the way that people interact with and think about games and simulations, but its impact reaches beyond video games; it is also signifigant as a low-cost input device which can be used in kinetic art, computer simulation, machine interface/control or any other  utilization of motion input or output."

 

3/4/08 - Colleen - Remember this is a persuasive essay so you'll have to argue pros/cons or true/not true - is it a fundamental change?

2/7/07 – Colleen – good goals for the project 1 update - devil is in the details, how is that coming?  Project 2 - is that because you're interested in the semantics that the machines have to meet?  Or is it the sounds that intrigue you?  Somehow I made your text small.
