Michael Sellam, Wii Tai Chi http://labs.bouleva...sh-festival-france/
(Search for Michael Sellam; text only.) The name of the described performance was "Wii Tai Chi". From the text, you can get an idea what it was supposed to look like - pity it didn't quite work. [jutta, Sep 13 2007]

       How would score points?

       Probably would be a lot more fun as a (slow-motion?) simulation of combat. You could certainly use the Tai Chi moves for this purpose.   

       Hmmm... you could teach a sequence of movements, and then have a bandit attack where the sequence of movements will perfectly defend you from the bandits. Nice.

       Brilliant for a million reasons but esp. the name.

       I disagree with the good DrCurry - I think it's pretty clear how this is going to work, and the image of someone sloooowly moving around holding the two controllers is pretty damn funny. It's just not as bang-two-concepts-togethery as Wii knitting.

       Excellent - turns a gaming platform into an exercise program. [+]
