Johnny Lee (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/Johnny-Lee/) is one of the most exciting innovators in the video game space right now; only thing is, Lee doesn't work in the video game space. He's a PhD candidate in tktkt at Carnegie Mellon University (graduating this week, congrats!) and his projects have not only made their way around the entire internet, thanks to sites like YouTube, but it even landed Lee a spot presenting at the prestigious TED conference.
Our pals at Wii Fanboy caught up with Lee and picked his big brain on everything from head tracking getting pulled from Boom Blox ("it's actually a pretty complicated decision, and I don't know if I'm at liberty to explain exactly why"); Nintendo's reception of the technology ("I have been talking to some Wii game developers and they've said that ... if a game requires too much motion or requires ... too much movement on the player's part, Nintendo asks them to pull it."); and future projects ("Maybe next week or the week after that, I can push out another video.").
