6.The last thing I thought Nintendo would do would make a vcr remote; I found that aspect of the design pretty much disgusting. I am not ashamed of the molded prongs on my controllers. I believe there is still room for inovation in the facial mechanics of the wavebird shell. Miyamoto has said he believes the design of the wavebird can be improved. Simply improving it would include making the b button kidney shaped and the face buttons more unified and monochromatic. I would like a trackball and scroll wheels still.
My motion control idea didn't involve the z axis as Nintendo's final design does, but is like the new Sony patent using a camera at a distance to track the x and y axises of the prongs. Also the internal gyro was a given for precise wrist movements. I found the way in how to connect these two halves together most difficult. The way Nintendo is doing it now; they stand to make a wad of cash on peripherals (first and third party). I was thinking that simpler was better so I tried to create two standard prongs.
