So far modders have added value to their Wii balance boards by turning them into Google Earth navigators and to assist in the wandering around World of Warcraft, now one Juan González has hacked his to control a robot.
Dubbing the activity “Robosurfing” the Madrid based researcher has plans to make the robots movements faster and also wireless.
He has much bigger plans for his new found fiddling skills however and is planning the development of a Segway-like people carrier that uses the board in a similar weight shifting steering system as the Microsoft machine.
Still using yours for Hula Hooping and press-ups? Oh thats sooooooo early 2008!
