When Nintendo boss Satoru Iwata took to the stage last week to unveil the Wii Vitality Sensor, he didnāt really tell us how it all worked. No, that information now comes a week later.

For instance, by watching your blood flow, the sensor can apparently determine when and how hard youāre breathing in and out. One of the āgamesā demonstrated with the device ā which may or may not make it into a āgameā for the WVS ā was a simple breathing exercise, as users timed their breathing to the tick/tock of a metronome.
How this can be used to enjoyment is at this stage up in the air. And until we get a firmer idea on what games/programs will be shipping with the WVS, we wonāt know whether itāll be the next revolutionary million-seller from Nintendo, or the next piece of hokey psuedo-science from Nintendo. Or both.
