Talking about games technology!

Two of us involved in the Wii Science project will be presenting our findings and concerns (so far) in the project at the workshop "Video Games as Research Instruments", to be held at CHI2010 in Atlanta, GA (USA). The Wii Science project is a collaboration with Stanford University together with two primary schools, one in Stockholm, Sweden and one in Palo Alto, USA. In the project, we're looking into how we can use the technology in the Wii Remote to create tools for children to use when they familiarize themselves with the practice of scientific experimentation when i.e. learning about force, energy, kinetic, momentum etc. With the Wii Remote, we not only have the opportunity to use existing solutions that we can modify and write software for, but also design for physical exploration in interesting ways!
