When we look back at the first production of video games there was such a great calling for people to upgrade in digital pictures and capabilities. Now it seems that we have reached a bit of a halt for the time being because Nintendo looked the other way and created a remote that can actually do whatever your body does.
Bolter and Grusin write "Although the remote control for a conventional set allows the viewer only to change channels, reduce the joysticks, keyboards, and trackballs of the games refashion and magnify the player's sense of control" (92). The player now has a better sense of control because the remote was fashioned to be able to bring the video games from the hands to the entire body. Just think about what the next big life changing advancement in computers or software might bring. I see a distant future in which we all will be touching the air with floating digital images. This would be useful when the time comes that we are no longer a physical world and we are all fully immersed in the environment of intense superficial and biological technology.
Here's a picture of what I believe might happen in the future.
