New Wii Accessory Measures Your Heart Rate
Posted in: Accessories and Peripherals, nintendo, Today's Chili, wii
Nintendo on Tuesday gave a sneak peek of the Wii Vitality Sensor, a Wiimote accessory that fits on your finger and takes your pulse.
Previewed at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles, the Wii Vitality Sensor will serve as much more than a heartbeat gauge, said Satoru Iwata, president and CEO of Nintendo.
“It intends to have you see the information relating to the inner world of your body, achieve greater relaxation,” Iwata said. “Everyone under pressure in our stressful society could use this as a way to relax … [and it] could even make it easier to fall asleep.”
Nintendo did not announce games it had in mind for the Vitality Sensor. We’re guessing it will have something to do with the Wii Fit exercise game at some point.
No word yet on price or a release date. See another image of the Vitality Sensor below the jump. Also, visit Wired.com’s Game Life blog for more coverage of E3 2009.
