WiiMan, the Nintendo Wii Super Hero 46

rafaelmizrahi writes "WiiMan the Super Hero is a full action figure costume of a super hero that functions as a Nintendo WiiMote remote. Having trouble playing Wii? WiiMan to the rescue. This GarageGeeks project combines Gaming, Technology and Useless Activity to the extreme. Rafael Mizrahi, an artificial vision and experience explorer at Feng-GUI and a GarageGeeks member along with Yael Hertzog built this custom costume that acts as a fully functional Nintendo WiiMote remote with buttons, bluetooth, accelerometers, and an IR cam. BTW, last year, they built another hero, The Guitar Hero Noid, a robot built with Tal Chalozin that plays the PlayStation game Guitar Hero."

There are times I wonder about Slashdot. They ignore the HUGE story that Rock Band for the Wii [slashdot.org] will be horribly nerfed, but post stories about some weirdo who decides to dress up in a white costume that says "Wii" on it.

What ever happened to "Stuff that Matters"? It seems to be less and less true these days. :-(

It's a (admittedly) useless hobby project that combines video games and engineering. In other words, nerd entertainment... which is why it's on entertainment.slashdot.org.

From your submission: no support for the superior GH3 guitar controller (emphasis mine)
Don't write trollish stories?
