Perhaps you've heard of the Wii Vitality Sensor. Expected to come out next year, it looks like a heart-rate monitor that's placed on your finger tip.

It's a fairly radical concept. Here's how it's described by designer Satoru Iwata:

"Wii Vitality Sensor has great potential for various applications like measuring how horrified a player is in a horror title. What we are trying to propose first is a video game with a theme of relaxation, which is completely opposite from traditional ones."

The usage of this new peripheral could open things up to a whole new world or game play where your emotions, movements and thoughts are reflected in the game.
