Found this over on Gizmodo and thought it to be trés cool. It’s two German students at a centre for studies in artificial intelligence who have hacked the Wii balance board so they can literally surf through Google Earth and Second Life.

Just as Johnny Lee hacks the Wii to create cutting edge tech that is more accessible to the unwashed masses (ie. you and me) we’ll be seeing more of this sort of thing as the labs, garages and basements of the world gleefully dig into techno mashups that further accelerate our drive along the path to Kurzweil’s singularity.

Cheers.

P. S. And speaking of human machine interfaces …
