Does this sound like the ultimate University thesis or what? Martin Lihs, a student at Bauhas-University in Weimar, Germany has taken a Wii Remote and essentially turned into a can of spray paint. He crammed the Wii-mote into the can-like structure and plans to create a communal, virtual graffiti wall in which people can add their digital tags and keep it real. His project has no real ties with Nintendo, or some fan-boy imagined game that might lend itself well to this peripheral. Rather, his thesis is simply meant to show off his technical abilities in creating the device, and employing it in a virtual environment. Sadly I doubt it will detract graffiti artists from defacing public property, and/or marking their territory in the real world.
