Nintendo Revolution Controller
The Nintendo Revolution Controller sets aside the traditional controller seen in other mainsteam consoles in an attempt to appeal to a larger audience.
The controller is shaped like a television remote control and is held with one hand.
The controller is also able to sense motion; two sensors placed near the television allow the controller to sense its position in three-dimensional space. Other sensors in the controller itself allow it to sense its tilt and yaw. This allows players to mimic actual game actions such as swinging a sword or using a flashlight, instead of simply pushing buttons.
This early marketing video showed actors miming such actions as fishing, cooking, drumming, conducting an orchestra, shooting a gun, sword fighting, and performing dental surgery!
To communicate with the sensors, the Revolution's controller uses Bluetooth technology.
