Microsoft Magic Wand Patent Application Published by wes213 on Monday, May 18, 2009
Tagged: Gaming, Xbox 360,
As i am sure you have all heard the rumors about Microsoft working on there version of the Wii remote for the Xbox 360, it would seem they have now decided to take the next step in production of the new "Microsoft Magic Wand" or so it would seem.
EDGE reports: Microsoft's chief technology officer J Allard filed a patent application for a “magic wand” device in November 2007, it has emerged.
 According to the patent application, the device can "utilise one or more sensor from a collection of sensors to determine an orientation or gesture in connection with the wand.”
It is also said to be able to detect the person holding it and automatically display their avatar on screen, and communicate in "a manner similar to a cellular phone or walkie-talkie with other wands," reports TachFlash.
While Microsoft has chosen not to comment on the patent application, growing speculation that the firm is working on an Xbox 360 motion sensing camera could mean that the wand peripheral is no longer in development.
I cant say that should any of the items talked about here get made that i would even look at them since i don't want the 360 to turn in to the next Wii, family fun is fine but thats not why i play.
