LiveMove2 - Live Tracking with a Wii Controller in 3D Environments

3Dwalkthroughs.com is really impressed with the capabilities of an upgrade to a technology from the company that collaborated with Nintendo on the MotionPlus controller add-on.

The technology is called LiveMove2 and features almost instantaneous 1:1 tracking. You can check out the technology on a YouTube video which can be found here>>.

The video shows examples of advanced tracking movements such as the swinging of a sword and how the sword interacts with an alien being. It can even recognize movements such as throwing a lasso. This type of technology represents a huge opportunity for game developers.

We are personally excited about the potential LiveMove2 brings to the exer-gamer market. As many of you know, this is an area we are spending a lot of time researching for Fitspott.
