That looks nothing like a Wii controller.

I'll give you $10 if you can come up with an arguement supporting your claims that that resembles a Wii controller.

If anything it looks like an upside down paw of a land mammal, such as a deer.

No inventive step here. Sadly, patent office examiners are monkeys that allow most patents to fly through unless someone contests them after publication.

USPTO needs to wake up.

Some people have a lucky rabbit's foot.
M$ has a "One hoof to rule them all" deer appendage.

hmmm, looks like a knife handle to me.

Looks like some loser ripped off his joystick handle from its base.

 

[Parsian]

hmm, is that for porn?

I can't figure the wearable part. Is it supposed to be some kind of glove?

time to start to milk a cow.

Kinect sensor can't track the hand movements well and lacks any sort of trigger for fps games. If they want to integrate the more hard core games with the kinect they need something like this and with kinect hitting the PC soon this looks like the perfect companion device. The future is about different type of inputs get out of the old way of thinking.

Seems like this is "late to the party". These products already exist. About to use one now in my conference room.....

I am fascinated by how women may use this device....
