The TED (Technology Entertainment Design) conference gives some of the brightest people in the world, across wildly divergent disciplines, a forum to share their brilliant ideas. This year's lineup of speakers included names like Stephen Hawking, Al Gore, and ... Johnny Lee.
In the midst of a bunch of Very Serious Discussions about Very Serious Topics, Johnny manages to totally make a highbrow crowd care about the Waggle Wand. He does this by being awesome. There aren't any new demonstrations here, but it's totally worth it to see an audience's reaction to what is pretty much magic for the first time.

I'm majoring in Game Design and my class and my instructor we discussing the head tracking, how it could change the world of gaming and simulations. We also discussed how the Wii's hardware is actually technology older than 10 years or so, expect the bluetooth.

I'm just glad he is getting more recognition for his work. He deserves all the praise and more for the software he has created.
