1.) The Artifact that my group will be focusing on is the Nintendo Wii, and the Wii controller.

2.) The Questions we are interested in pursuing are:

What makes the Wii and the Wii remote different from other gaming remotes and consoles? How have gaming systems evolved over time? Who does the gaming console and remote target? What aspects of the gaming system make it easier to use for non-gamers?

We plan on looking at the progression starting with the Nintendo and working our way to the Wii. Our site will possibly have a seperate page for each system, including pictures and video, and a relation of how each system has been a contribution to the evolition and creation of the Nintendo Wii.
