Nintendo moves closer to having games react to emotional state: the Wii Vitality Sensor

At E3 Nintendo’s President, Satoru Iwata, personally announced Nintendo’s newest groundbreaking product, the Wii Vitality Sensor. It will initially sense the user’s pulse and a number of other signals being transmitted by their bodies, and will then provide information to the user about their body’s inner world. Nintendo hopes to be able to use this device in order to create a series of games based on relaxation versus the usual stimulating games produced today.
