Nintendo and AiLive Announce LiveMove

Tool helps developers by easily translating Wii Remote movements into game code.

NINTENDO AND AILIVE ANNOUNCE NEW TOOL FOR CREATIVE AND EASY WII DEVELOPMENT    


'LiveMove' Tool Now Available to Wii Developers    


REDMOND, Wash., Oct. 12, 2006 – Nintendo and AiLive Inc. announce the immediate availability of LiveMove, a groundbreaking Artificial Intelligence product, that enables the Wii Remote™ to learn.    


Instead of complicated programming, developers need only take a few minutes to train the Wii Remote by examples.  LiveMove lets developers focus directly on creative work without the burden of onerous coding requirements, helping them quickly unleash the potential of Wii™.  The only limitation is the game creator's imagination.    


"The Wii coupled with AiLive LiveMove will usher in a new era of natural game control," commented AiLive Chairman Dr. Wei Yen." Powered by AiLive's patented Context Learning, LiveMove will allow the game industry to move away from indirect digital control to more natural analog control for the first time."    


 "In early 2006, I challenged Dr. Wei Yen and his AI scientists to develop AIware for the Wii Remote. When Nintendo's development teams saw LiveMove, we instantly recognized how it would greatly increase our ability to explore and experiment with new concepts and make our lives easier," says Genyo Takeda, Senior Managing Director/General Manager of Integrated Research & Development Division, Nintendo Co., Ltd. "This revolutionary tool liberates the imaginations of game creators. We are more than happy to share this collaborative LiveMove tool with independent Wii software developers all over the world. From a cowboy's lasso to a samurai's sword or a chef's cooking utensils, we just can't wait to play the developers' new, 'unexpected' applications."     LiveMove is currently available exclusively to Wii developers and priced at a mass-adoption license fee of $2,500 per seat.  Tutorials and demos will be offered by AiLive.  For detailed information about LiveMove, visit AiLive's website at www.AiLive.net.    


About AiLive:  A leader in Artificial Intelligence for entertainment, AiLive's vision of video games is natural engagement and personalization through player participation.  AiLive Inc. was founded in 2000, Palo Alto, California, by a unique, world-class team of scientists across various disciplines of Artificial Intelligence.

OMG, follow the vids and watch the video...

It's mindblowingly amazing. The learning curve for most programming the Wii mote for games is absolutely destroyed. Only very specific applications will need more than this tool provides.

They even demo a simple number-writing game at the end of the viedo in two players that looks like it could be gussied up and made a 400 wii point VC title!

A glooming peace this morning with it brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Sega and her Mashiro.

That was a pretty cool video.  Nice fine, Karion.  Or, should I say nice steal, thief?

Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

I'm surprised this isn't getting more of a response, this is really an amazing step by Nintendo to create a more user friendly development enviroment. Now companies can focus on other aspects of the games, whether it be visuals, overall gameplay, sound etc instead of focusing on the Wii controls. Should be interesting to see what companies can develop now that one big hurdle has been smoothed out!

Yeah, VGrevolution, I agree.  That video of the man demonstrating this product is fascinating.

With this and the recent comment that some games will be available for download instead of being in disc form, it seems like there's a good possibility that we will get new Virtual Console games that use the Wii controller. Awesome!
