Popular Science AU: Non-physical controllers should only be complementary
Popular Science AU: Our resident blogger throws in his two cents on the current direction of non-physical controllers.
"Ever since the dawn of the television remote control, we’ve been led to believe that any media item that can be controlled must be done so by way of a physical controller. Even the Nintendo Wii with all of its fancy motion-control interaction still requires the user to hold a physical controller in their hand in order to make use of the technology. While the end-of-year release of Microsoft’s controller-less Kinect for the Xbox 360 is set to challenge the way we interact with game consoles, I’m not altogether convinced that it will be the beginning of the end for physical controllers."
