New patent documents for the Wii Uās controller reveal all manner of bells and whistles, including a couple that we hadnāt heard about.
Sure, itās got a screen; of course itās got a camera. Itās got an accelerometer, too, whoop-dee-do. But itās also got flash memory, though how much memory has yet to be revealed. In addition, itās got a magnetic sensor that could be used to detect body motion without a camera.
You know another thing magnets are good for detecting? Heartbeats. So itās poooossible that that magnetometer marks a sneaky return of the yet-to-be-released Wii Vitality Sensor
