Does anyone here have a Nintendo Wii? Fancy trying the ideas out?

@Oliver
I agree, could be used to make some fantastic games. Hopefully the games will be a little more polished than titles like Konami's Police 24/7:

@Speelgoedmannetje
Nobody is saying you can't make great games with less complex control schemes. I understand your point of view, but the main cause behind the dull gaming scene is consumers not taking a chance on something new when it comes along and buying sequel after sequel instead. I can't even blame game publishers for releasing the uninspired titles, they're the ones that sell the best (most of the time).

Software available here (Windows only I'm afraid):

Johnny Chung Lee mentioned this tech would be for one user only. However, if Sharp ever get this (http://tinyurl.com/2sfhr4) released, there would be a way of getting multiple players using one TV, using different color LEDs:
