Apple PowerBook = Wii Wanna-be?



Check this out! Apple has apparently come out with something called the AMS2HID. This neat little piece of Apple hardware is the key to making your Powerbook an early version of a Wii controller! Check it out it's pretty stinking cool if you ask me! It actually integrates itself with almost all the functions of the laptop: Everything from that neat little game with the ball (you know that annoying one with the crazy physics that you can never get past the 5th level) to scrolling thru your browser window and "flying" around in Google Maps. It doesn't look particularly useful for the most part, but just the concept of having an accelerometer on a laptop is a neat thought. With the popularity of the accelerometer and the release of the holographic disk and hologram stuff this year, I'm intrigued to think about some of the technologies that may be coming out in the not to distant future. Holographic computers anyone ?
