jOG for Nintendo Wii Wii

jOG for Nintendo Wii is an accessory that enables gamers to enjoy their favourite titles with a fun, immersive control mechanic at the same time benefitting from aerobic exercise - quite simply, if you want to run in the game you have to run on the spot to go. jOG for Nintendo Wii utilises lower body motion sensor technology to measure your steps and translate them to movement in game, not only making gaming a more immersive experience, but also giving a gentle workout, contributing to the recommended 10,000 steps per day. Research from John Moores University shows that converting seated video gaming on the Nintendo Wii into exergaming via the introduction of the jOG system more than tripled energy expenditure and increased heart rate by 40% in young adults. In the basic mode of operation, the user plays their game in the normal way but with one significant difference. jOG detects when the player takes a step and only allows movement in the game while the player is jogging on the spot. Direction and all the other functions are still controlled by the standard gamepad. Using this simple approach, the team at New Concept Gaming has created a very powerful visual feedback loop bringing players deeper into the game experience and compelling them to take light exercise for the duration of game play without affecting the balance of gameplay. jOG for Nintendo Wii can be used to enhance most existing video games that feature character movement on screen - adventure games, shooters, children�s games, RPGs, sports games. Significantly, in its basic mode jOG requires no changes to the Wii or software to use. Players just plug in and go.
