Add an extra chip to the Wii controller to allow it to transmit data (regular gyroscopic readings + GPS) via cellular network to the console at home.
Enter Wii:pedometer, Wii:SkyJmpr, Wii:Spy, etc.

Um, what exactly is the point of that? |
|
| |
Stick a broom up its USB port and it can
sweep the floor on its way out. |

kind of hard to see the screen when your falling from 30000 feet dontcha think? |

The point is further integration of Wii into the daily life. E.g. with Wii:pedometer you could enter an online contest of who walks (and fights obesity/warming) the most.
With Wii:SkyJmpr you get online cred by having the proof you actually did jump, not just bragging about it. |

So this would be more like those "Achievements" that X-box has, but you have to go out into the real word to get them. Jump with a parachute 2 times and have a secret low-gravity Mario level unlocked -- which you will appreciate more after actually skydiving. |

I could see the point of this. I'd buy it. |
|
| |
Why not just have the remote sync your data to the console when you take it home? |
|
| |
Wii Pedometer would make a great addition to Wii sport's fitness section. |
|
| |
I like the idea of getting achievements by doing things in the real world. |
|
| |
Just one ?, what if someone has a physical limitation that would prevent them from doing physically demanding things to get free game levels, like skydiving? |
|
| |
[wolstech]Secret levels can be optional -- and there, of course, can be several types of those with different "achievements" required to unlock them. |

I like this. Remove the GPS and just make it a motion data capture device . The kids can move about in daily life to make keys that activate extras when playing the Wii . Hopefully it would cause more healthy energetic play . Name = Wii-about . |

A sensor bar is needed for the motion tracking; I doubt GPS alone would be able to take its place. Perhaps an altimeter is also needed? |

Yes, reminds me of untrained kittens. |
