Iwata cursing in his latest ‘Iwata Asks’ feature
The new gyro-sensor operation
Iwata
The Wii Sports Resort is not a stand-alone software,
"Wii Motion Plus" is created and set.
The people who made the made the hardware and software,
Ask to speak to two occasions.
First is the hardware.
So I'd like to introduce myself.
Takamoto
Takamoto Division 3 overall development of the group.
Wii Motion Plus is the project leader was responsible for hardware development.
Iwata
"Ask the president"
Wii hard since the Chapter, it is time.
Takamoto
Yes. Thank you.
Tani Waki
The Division is also developing a comprehensive group Tani Waki.
This mechanism is responsible for the design.
Ito
Ito is the first comprehensive development headquarters of the group.
I was in charge of the electronics involved. Thank you.
Ota
Ota is headquarters of the production technology development.
That I am belongs to a different department but I'm with you,
This time, she was responsible for the development of the SDK.
Iwata
Now, Mr. Ota said that the SDK "Software Development Kit" is an abbreviation of
I like what I have to explain shit.
Ota
SDK and say in one word,
Software for creating "material".
I am in a position to mediate between the developers and the hardware and software, build a kit of software components,
Used to work as a game developer to pass it.
Iwata
But he did not do is that all?
Ota
Yes. The products I'm a very interesting feature,
It was very habit,
Various ideas were required.
Iwata
That is, you ask carefully later.
Mr. Takamoto, originally developed the Wii motion plus,
When did you started?
Takamoto
The development began in earnest,
Since the beginning of the year 2008.
Takeda's head (Gen Hiroshi)'s,
"Wii remote, gyro sensors (※ 1) to connect to?"
Is the prologue of the story.
Iwata
But he is said to暮REMASEN to do it all of a sudden?
Around the world have struggled to Wii remote control "Wii Remote Control Cover" and was distributed only if,
"Heads gyro sensors" I say. ※ 1 = Gyro sensor detects the speed and angle of rotation can be used in instruments such as attitude control. Incidentally gyro (gyro) the "ring" and "rotation" of meaning.
Takamoto
Yes. Moreover, had作RI直SANAKERE jacket.
Iwata
It is. The name of the new jacket?
Takamoto
"Long Jacket".
Iwata
I really look like (laughs).
All
(Laughs)
Takamoto
To use the Wii Motion Plus is the need to change his long jacket,
I also think that you would like to care for customers.
Iwata
However, in order to use more safely.
Takamoto
I never let on.
In particular, such as Wii Sports, a playmate,
When play is a mixture of people.
Iwata
This past minutes and was able to respond to different movements and fast movements,
SHINAKI YAIKENAIDESUSHINE attention to security.
So long jacket with absolute hope.
Takamoto
Yes. So the idea that
Wii Motion Plus and body,
Was to integrate a long jacket.
Iwata
So, Wii by the Motion Plus and a long jacket and not the issue.
Takamoto
Are integrated from the start.
So, the product of state wearing a long jacket
Was to be called Wii Motion plus.
Iwata
And there
In making the Wii Motion Plus Do?
Takamoto
Originally only a Wii Remote sensing linear movement (sense) I could not.
Iwata
So, Wii acceleration sensors are mounted on the remote control (※ 2),
Or wave, or bare, and to draw,
I was in response to linear movement. ※ 2 = Acceleration sensor circuit to detect changes in speed. Wii acceleration sensors are mounted on the remote control, can detect acceleration in three dimensions.
Takamoto
Yes. On a professional
I had been in the XYZ and the sensing axis linear acceleration.
For example, in Wii Sports, "Golf" When you want to play,
Straight swing, but I can sense.
Iwata
To tilt the face of the club is not sensing.
Takamoto
Yes. So I could not separate hit a hook or SURAISUBORU.
However, Wii in total gyro sensor and acceleration sensors combine the remote sensing allows a six-axis.
Then, not only linear movement,
The motion sensing can also be rotated and twisted,
I will be able to reproduce very faithfully the movement of players.
I thought so very beneficial.
Iwata
So if you have a big advantage,
"TSUKENAKATTA from the beginning?" I say.
Takamoto
In fact, Wii considering the gyroscopic sensor for remote control from the start I had.
I have had to forgo the cost of space to store or gyro problem, however.
Iwata
I see.
After all, the gyro sensor is an instrument I'll be very old.
Takamoto
Yes. Originally I called the gyroscope,
A rocket or a machine to measure the angle and speed, and is used for ship navigation system,
I was very large in size.
Iwata
We're in the nose of the jumbo jet.
Takamoto
Yes. The of that,
It was very expensive, and MEMS (MEMUSU) technology,
Is increasingly smaller, cheaper and well.
Iwata
MEMS, but now he said,
And MEMS Could you explain?
Takamoto
"Micro Electro Mechanical Systems," is called for short the MEMS.
And semiconductor technology, micro-machining technology is built into the very small mechanical structures.
Iwata
I was in the MEMS can be mounted on a small remote control technology.
Indeed, around, MEIDOINWARIO (※ 3) you were using a gyro sensor. ※ 3 = MEIDOINWARIO around, the series third film, MEIDOINWARIO. 10 as a soft launch for the Game Boy Advance in 2004.
Takamoto
At that time, I called the piezoelectric gyro,
And I was a little different method.
Of the gyro-sensor that has spread rapidly KIKKAKE I was adopted by the video camera anti-shake.
However, just like the Wii that can be adopted so as to bring the remote control I had.
Iwata
Earlier, but I also told Mr. Ota,
I have a little habit.
Takamoto
It is hard to work from long ago and I called quite a habit.
But when the story first from Takeda,
There are twists and turns and so I never have.
Iwata
I was so cumbersome,
Gyro sensor.
Takamoto
Yes, I did things in a different habit.
