Nintendo Wii- Augmented Reality?

A question was brought up about the Nintendo's Wii whether if it is one of the augmented reality gadget. After several session of analysis plus research, i decided to share it with all of you.
If you haven’t heard aboutJohnny Lee you should really just look him up on youTube. His latest experiment he shows us perspective based 3d interaction, all for the price of a Wiimote and a pair of safety goggles. His other experiments include a multi-touch screen using nothing more then a Wiimote and some infrared lights on a pen, normally costing well over thousands of dollars. But for now, here is Virtual Reality the Wii-way.


And the answer is yes. Any game control of same sort is considered an Augmented Reality.
Another example is as below:



sensor , injected sport shoes along with displays on the heads-up of the augmented reality- the visor. Play with your friends around the world, using smart phone technologies. Anywhere and anytime!

  2. The thing is did you not notice? Augmented reality REQUIRES hardware.It is not a stand alone entity.It REQUIRES hardware such as phones and Monitirs to display.
