This "WiiMote Music Controller Suit" (called the "W_space") by Israeli-born, Netherlands based composer Tom Tlalim uses eight Nintendo Wii controllers to create and manipulate sound in realtime. Connected up to the body, each Wiimote senses a different aspect of the wearer's movement to produce songs in the sound software "SuperCollider", as he or she dances or moves through any space. Check out the photo gallery from the link below which shows the author "boogie-ing down" on a city roof.
