I saw that. It looks amazeballs! Dev kit was rumored to be like $500 I think.
Pretty cheap to mass produce too.

I'm missing something here as I don't see the appeal. Yes I'm drinking, but what...is this Google Cardboard all over again?
I break my damn HOTAS on a daily basis so what chance does putting cardboard in my hands have? So I break it and get pissed???? GOD DAMN I'M ALREADY ENRAGED!

You will be able to purchase Nintendo marketed duct tape.....
The idea behind this is amazing and new. But cardboard.... come on.
I think Im missing some parts here.
Is there a something that is detecting the motion other than the gyros in the controllers?

To clarify: it's google cardboard, but marketed for kids. Also, one of em is shaped like a house. Haven't you always wanted to play a video game by.... to be honest, i'm not actually sure what functionality the house will have, but it's probably cool, i guess.
It appears to detect the movable parts with IR. Much like the Wii, except the receiver is also on the controller (presumably, anyways).
I played with cardboard boxes when I was a child.
I just love Progress.
Also, it is interesting that it is called LABO --- certainly not to complete with LEGO.

Large cardboard box, whicker paper plate holder and a pencil.... I was race car driving (or rolling in my big rig like Sly Stallone in over the top).....
Hell I still play with card board in making things for dnd miniatures.... but 3D printing this Labo stuff would be a better option. Pay 60 for some cardboard or print your own components for a few dollars......
Boy....... I'm so surprised right now. I'm happy I got a Switch. Truly ingenious by Nintendo and a cool concept.

My first reaction seeing this was to throw my wallet at my computer screen! I think this is so cool...especially the piano! I love building fun, useless stuff just for the heck of it, and this will satisfy that need!
Cool!
It appears they are using the IR camera for some things. Another site reported that, at least for the piano, there is some sort of reflective type tape you put on the keys, and the IR camera seems to be measuring the distance to determine the note to play.
Cool!

Why doesn't the play button work on your vid? I must drink a few more beer :beers::beers::beers:

Funny story! Apparently the German Video Games ratings board almost threw out the cardboard pieces of the Labo because a cleaning crew thought it was trash! LOL!
