Desenmascarando A La Innovadora Wii

jujujujuju malas noticias, para los sonyers!!!!



porque xavix no ha demandado a nintendo????, porque la demanda ha sido desestimada en base a que usan tecnologias diferentes (xavix :el sistema de intercambio mando-consola es mediante infrarrojos (desconozco la cantidad de datos que se pueden transmitir simultaneamente por este sistema).

Y principalmente, porque nintendo ya patento esta idea en el año 88, con lo cual no puede ser demandada por plagio, y la patento porque en el 89 ya saco a la venta el origen de la wii, pero fue un fiasco y desaparecio

The Japanese Nintendo Power Glove, manufactured by PAX


The Power Glove (1989) is a controller accessory for the Nintendo Entertainment System designed by the team of Grant Goddard and Sam Davis for Abrams/Gentile Entertainment, made by Mattel in the United States and PAX in Japan. Contrary to popular belief[citation needed], Nintendo was not involved in the design or release of this accessory, though it was an officially licensed the product. It was the first peripheral interface controller to recreate human hand movements on a television or computer screen, and it proved to be a winner with the general public as almost 100,000 were made and sold in the US alone.[1]
The glove had a traditional D-pad on the forearm as well as a program button and buttons labeled 0-9. A person would hit the program button and a numbered button to do various things (such as increase or decrease the firing rate of the A and B buttons). Along with the controller, a gamer could move his or her hand in various movements to control a character on-screen.
It was based on the patented technology of the VPL Dataglove, but with many modifications that allowed it to be used with slow hardware and sold at an affordable price. Where the Dataglove could detect yaw, pitch and roll, used fiber optic sensors to detect finger flexure and had a resolution of 256 positions (8 bits) per 5 fingers, the Power Glove could only detect roll, and used sensors coated with conductive ink yielding a resolution of 4 positions (2 bits) per 4 fingers. [2] This allowed the Power Glove to store all the finger flexure information in a single byte. [3]
Only two games were released with specific features for use with the Power Glove, Super Glove Ball, and Bad Street Brawler, a difficult to control beat 'em up, playable with the standard NES controller, but allowing exclusive moves with the glove. These two games were branded as part of the "Power Glove Gaming Series". Two more games, Glove Pilot and Manipulator Glove Adventure, were announced but never released. Super Glove Ball was never released in Japan. Since no games ever retailed in Japan, the Power Glove was sold only as an alternative controller. This decision damaged sales and eventually caused PAX to declare bankruptcy. Many other games including: Super Mario Bros, Metroid, Castlevania, Contra, Rad Racer and many other titles used the glove's abilities to play the game. To jump in Super Mario Bros and Metroid, you flicked your arm up quickly, Contra and Castlevania made you bend your pointing finger to shoot, and Rad Racer required miming the motions of steering the wheel of a car.
One criticism of the power glove was in the way the glove interacted with Mike Tyson's Punch Out!!. While a glove seemed to be an intuitive interface for a boxing game, the limitations on the detection method for the device was a complication for this game. While punching was a natural motion (moving the glove towards the television), the return motion was set to be used for the super punch. The result of this setup was that the user would very quickly expend all their super punches without being able to save them for the most opportune times.





por cierto nintendo tambien ha sido denunciada por esto, pero, tambien ha ganado el recurso

Una empresa con sede en California, Interlink Electronics, ha demandado a Nintendo por infringir una patente suya (concretamente una bautizada como Trigger Operated Electronic Device - algo así como "dispositivo electrónico que funciona mediante gatillo") con su Wiimote. La patente de Interlink Electronics se formuló en septiembre del 1997, se concedió en febrero del 2005, y básicamente describe "un ratón ¿impresionantemente? ergonómico para controlar un ordenador" que se utiliza como dispositivo "apuntador" para controlar el cursor del ordenador. El funcionamiento de ambos son bastantes distintos, ya que para mover el cursor con el Wiimote se tiene que mover el mando en un espacio de tres dimensiones, mientras que la patente de Interlink describe un controlador basado en un pad sensible al tacto más una serie de botones (es decir, no se tiene que mover el mando como en el caso del Wiimote), pero la base de la demanda parece ser que es el gatillo que ambos diseños utilizan.

Interlink Electronics afirma que debido a esta infracción de patentes esta sufriendo daños debidos a pérdidas de royalties, y ventas y beneficios más reducidos. La compañía está buscando una orden de detención de ventas del Wiimote, así como el cobro de tres veces de los daños ocasionados incluyendo intereses.

Ahora sólo falta saber si Nintendo seguirá los pasos de Sony y sus trifulcas con Inmersion (cuyo resultado fue bastante negativo) o si estará dispuesta a desembolsar lo que le pide Interlink. Fuente: Next-Generation y Destructoid.
