It's a copy of Sega's prototype Dreamcast motion sensing wand from 1999:

Or it's a copy of GameTrak's motion sensing remote for PC (including gaming) which Eliot Myers started work on in the early 1990s.

Or it's a copy of Gyration's and Bridge Design's motion controller that they pitched and sold to Nintendo in around 2002.

And it's not far off those motion sensing controllers that fat American guy in shorts was using in that YouTube video (posted last year) to play a game very similar to Wii Sports Boxing in.....about 1999.

Take your pick.]]>Jul 3rd 2008 7:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/golive2-reveals-wireless-stix-we-cant-quite-pinpoint-the-inspi/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/golive2-reveals-wireless-stix-we-cant-quite-pinpoint-the-inspi/Jul 2nd 2008 10:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/golive2-reveals-wireless-stix-we-cant-quite-pinpoint-the-inspi/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/golive2-reveals-wireless-stix-we-cant-quite-pinpoint-the-inspi/Jul 3rd 2008 5:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/golive2-reveals-wireless-stix-we-cant-quite-pinpoint-the-inspi/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/golive2-reveals-wireless-stix-we-cant-quite-pinpoint-the-inspi/Jul 3rd 2008 10:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/golive2-reveals-wireless-stix-we-cant-quite-pinpoint-the-inspi/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/golive2-reveals-wireless-stix-we-cant-quite-pinpoint-the-inspi/Jul 2nd 2008 10:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/golive2-reveals-wireless-stix-we-cant-quite-pinpoint-the-inspi/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/golive2-reveals-wireless-stix-we-cant-quite-pinpoint-the-inspi/Jul 2nd 2008 10:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/golive2-reveals-wireless-stix-we-cant-quite-pinpoint-the-inspi/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/golive2-reveals-wireless-stix-we-cant-quite-pinpoint-the-inspi/Jul 4th 2008 11:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/golive2-reveals-wireless-stix-we-cant-quite-pinpoint-the-inspi/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/golive2-reveals-wireless-stix-we-cant-quite-pinpoint-the-inspi/Jul 2nd 2008 10:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/golive2-reveals-wireless-stix-we-cant-quite-pinpoint-the-inspi/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/golive2-reveals-wireless-stix-we-cant-quite-pinpoint-the-inspi/Jul 2nd 2008 10:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/golive2-reveals-wireless-stix-we-cant-quite-pinpoint-the-inspi/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/golive2-reveals-wireless-stix-we-cant-quite-pinpoint-the-inspi/Jul 2nd 2008 10:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/golive2-reveals-wireless-stix-we-cant-quite-pinpoint-the-inspi/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/golive2-reveals-wireless-stix-we-cant-quite-pinpoint-the-inspi/Jul 2nd 2008 11:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/golive2-reveals-wireless-stix-we-cant-quite-pinpoint-the-inspi/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/golive2-reveals-wireless-stix-we-cant-quite-pinpoint-the-inspi/
