Asus reveals Wii-like motion controls

Asus, purveyor of dinky laptops and soon, bargain desktops, has shown off a pair of motion sensing controllers. But we can’t help feeling they look a little familiar.

Dubbed the Eee Stick the motion sensing controllers bear more than a passing resemblance to the Wii’s own nunchuks.

We’re sure there’s more to the Eee Stick than meets the eye, the guys at Engadget are reporting it can function as a 3D mouse, for instance.

We’ll hold off passing judgement until we see more of what it can do. But for now you can check out a (grainy) video of it in action here.

And if you can figure out what’s going on, pat yourself on the back.
