Q Game Middleware Available for Wii

By  • 

Qube Software’s ‘future generation’ game middleware ‘Q’ is now available for the Wii™ console from Nintendo.

The announcement follows Q’s successful launch at GDC in San Francisco last month.

“Wii is changing the way people experience video games and reaching out to broader markets so we are very excited about this platform,” said Qube’s CEO Servan Keondjian.  “With Wii, as with other platforms, Q provides an easy route to exploiting the hardware while also allowing developers to get the very most from it.  High standards of performance and rendering quality are very important to us and we will continue to build on Q’s already excellent capabilities on Wii over the coming year.”

Occupational Therapists Use Wii For Parkinson’s Study

It’s Ingrid Bell’s turn at bat. She steps up to the plate, awaiting the pitch. A 70-mph fastball soars toward her. She swings and connects with the ball.

Foul ball! Everyone cheers for her anyway.

This baseball game’s not taking place on a field, and there’s no real bat or ball to be seen. Mrs. Bell is playing the Nintendo Wii as part of her occupational therapy. She is among 30 Parkinson’s disease patients participating in a Medical College of Georgia study to determine if occupational therapy enhances the treatment of the disease.

Parkinson’s disease affects daily tasks that people take for granted. Brushing teeth, getting out of bed and walking become a problem for these patients because of dopamine depletion, which results in stiffness or slowing of movement and fine motor dysfunction.
