I’d like to share a conversation with my mother that occurred today. She is in her 60s, and although she uses a computer for communication, has never even played solitaire or shown any interest in a video game.
Nikki says:
The wee? Is a game that lets you think you are doing a sport?
Anne says:
Yes, you use the controller, that looks like a remote control, just like a tennis racquet or a bowling ball.
Nikki says:
Do you actually pretend you are bowling?
Anne says:
Yes.
Nikki says:
How do you see if you threw the ball correctly?
Anne says:
It shows on the screen.
It responds to how hard you “pretend” to bowl.
Nikki says:
Are you attached by the legs and hands?
Anne says:
No, you’re just holding what looks like a remote control. No wires.
Nikki says:
And then the screen mimics your moves?
Anne says:
Yes.
Nikki says:
FANTASTIC
Nikki says:
I want to try bowling.

Nikki will be equally amazed once she actually “bowls” on the wii. It really is that cool.
Nikki will be equallier amazed once she checks out Project Natal. Bam.
