Nintendo's Wii remote control system clicked us into the next-generation of video games, blogged by Joyce Schwarz @ www.hollywoood2020.blogs.com. But now the addition of a new peripheral (additional device you buy and plug into the Wii system) that looks like a household scale and allows people of all ages to step into a whole new world of immersive experiences Now you can simulate fitness exercises and even experience sports 'simulations' iike ski and skating. Who knows soon we may be dancing with the stars or jumping into the boots of a Hollywood stuntman or woman.

My question is -- is this the tipping point for the next-generation of immersive movies, truly interactive television and even a next -generation of sports spectatorship. Why just sit at an Xgames event if you can bring your remote Wii balance board and simulate the experience on the big screen or on center stage. Anything's possible in this always on, wireless environment of enter- tainment!
