Nintendo Wii Vitality Sensor checks your pulse

Posted on Tuesday, June 02 2009 @ 19:20 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck

Nintendo presented the latest Wii accessory at the E3, the Wii Vitality Sensor is a finger sensor that detects your pulse. It doesn't look very comfortable to use and it's unknown how this accessory will be used in games.

Details on how the accessory is going to be used in games are pretty vague, but it appears the idea is to check stress, help you relax, and just generally chill out and be groovy. That won't happen for a while yet, though: the Vitality Sensor was described as a "look into the future," so we're guessing we've got a wait in store.
