    Whilst surfing one of my favorite morning news sites (<plug shilling for="NO">www.dailygrail.com</plug>, I followed a link to this:

    http://technology.newscientist.com/...6.100-a-wii-warmup-hones-surgical-skills.html


    I have no idea what Nintendo's authoring systems are like, but surgery sounds like the sort of complex hi-quality orchestration that Unity's so good at. A great case for the Wii dev license, and a potential source of funding!

    That is actually a poor article. They IMPLY that playing video games improves surgical skill, but the improvement was shown in virtual surgery not real surgery.

    Quite a big difference.
