Default 3D integration using the wii remote
this chap who is a PhD student and Carnegie Mellon University did this project. After you get through his explanation and view the demo it's incredibly realistic the 3D affect

I agree with his last comment...
"I can't wait to see some games!"

New technology is amazing.

Wow, the thing that surprises me is that Nintendo probably have huge teams of developers working on every single details of this technology and no one thought of this. All this guy did is using the existing technology and applied it. Smart guy

Wow, that's pretty amazing. To even see the 3D effect on my computer monitor is very promising. Got my WII, now bring on the 3D games.

He's quite impressive and overall it's amazing....

.........but I had a flashback listening to the guys voice, to a bugs bunny cartoon and the lion saying "oh about threeeee or fourrrrrrr.." when BB asked him how many lumps of "sugar" he'd like, then hit him over the head with a club. I'm impressed and hugely juvenile all in the same sitting...I can't help it.

Come on man, look around, most mountain bikers are geeks, we all have the latest gadget, cel phone/MP3 player/GPS/heart rate monitor/etc... and the bikes...

Most of my fellow mountain bikers have careers dealing with Technologies. I work for a manufacturing software company.

Mountain bikers are the coolest geeks

Listen again SheDevil: His voice is very Kermit the Frog-esque.

A really, really freakin' smart Kermit.
Cool stuff.
