And it looks like Nintendos answer to Microsofts Project Natal is... a pulse detector. Yep, Nintys just announced the Wii Vitality Sensor, a finger sensor which attaches to the Wiimote to read your pulse. Details on how the accessory is going to be used in games are pretty vague, but it appears the idea is to check stress, help you relax, and just generally chill out and be groovy. That wont happen for a while yet, though: the Vitality Sensor was described as a "look into the future," so were guessing weve got a wait in store.
