Programming on the Wii
One of the cool projects I'm working on this semester is the one for an HCI class I'm taking. For my project, I decided to research interactions using Wiimotes. Together with two classmates, we are investigating the differences between using one Wiimote at a time versus using two Wiimotes at a time. This is analogous to using one hand at a time vs. using two hands in our daily lives. There are some obvious advantages to using two hands. But for different types of tasks, we believe this difference is not the same. There are tasks that really benefit from having the two hands, but there are other tasks where having an extra hand may not add much (drawing, for example). That is why we have set to investigate these differences further.
Next week we hope to be having our user tests. Let's see what comes out of this!

Hmm, two Wii motes. Hmm, might get a bit difficult since many people are used to one hand and not the both at once. Either way, this is quite interesting.

Good Luck with your study. I did this test once.. When you draw with two hands you secondary can write backwards.
Will this effect have anything in relevance to your study.
