Каскадный · [ Стандартный ] · Линейный Nintendo QOL (Quality Of Life), Нинтендо заботится о вашем здоровье

[dimm0505]

Начинает потихоньку появляться первая информация о планах Nintendo по внедрению своей программы Quality Of Life (QOL), о которой давно в интернетах ходят разные слухи. Достоверно пока не известно, что же из этого в конце концов получится и чего добиваются Нины. Пока узнали, что безконтактный сенсор разрабатывает компания ResMed. Считывая через радиоволны информацию с человека, он передает ее для обработки в облако, и конечные результаты поступают уже на мобильные устройства или "специальные" игровые приставки (в нашем случае WiiU/3DS). Собирается ли Nintendo как-то использовать это в играх - неизвестно. Остальную информацию читайте здесь:

Nintendo revealed first details about its health-focused QOL platform, which stands for "quality of life," announcing a new sensor that monitors and analyzes you while you sleep.

In a presentation, Nintendo described the QOL device as having "five 'non' sensing" features: It will be non-wearable, non-contact (meaning it doesn't need to touch your body), non-operating, non-waiting and non-installation. Essentially, the device is designed to operate on its own, without much set-up.

The QOL device is designed to monitor a user during sleep. Using radio waves, the device reads a user's movement, heart rate, respiration and fatigue, and sends that data to servers to be analyzed. The QOL system will connect with smart devices and "dedicated video game devices," presumably Nintendo's Wii U and 3DS systems, via the cloud. Services designed to improve health and quality of life, through diet and exercise, for example, will be part of the QOL system.

Nintendo is partnering with U.S.-based ResMed, a manufacturer of "medical equipment for treating, diagnosing and managing sleep-disordered breathing and other respiratory disorders." Its QOL device is slated to launch sometime in 2016.

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata announced the company's plans to expand its business into the health market earlier this year, with the hopes that it can improve "quality of life through entertainment."

"[D]efining a new entertainment business that seeks to improve (quality of life) creates various possibilities for the future such as 'learning' and 'lifestyle,' but it is our intention to take 'health' as our first step," Iwata said at the time. "We wish to achieve an integrated hardware-software platform business that, instead of providing mobile or wearable features, will be characterized by a new area of what we like to call 'non-wearable' technology.

Iwata said Nintendo planned to go beyond what it attempted with exercise software Wii Fit, and was "considering themes that we have not incorporated to games for our existing platforms" with the aim to create a new market.

"What is generally good for health requires some kind of effort to be made by the individual," Iwata said. "This is where our strength as an entertainment company to keep our consumers engaged and entertained comes into play, assisted by the non-wearable feature, which is the biggest differentiator of this new business field, as well as user experiences that integrate into people's daily lives, all of which help us overcome this difficulty. If we do indeed succeed in doing so, we will be able to provide feedback to our consumers on a continual basis, and our approach will be to redefine the notion of health-consciousness, and eventually increase the fit population.

"While we feel that this is going to take two to three years after its launch, we expect the QOL-improving platform to provide us with new themes which we can then turn into games that operate on our future video game platforms, too," he said. "Once we have established such a cycle, we will see continuous positive interactions between the two platforms that enable us to make unique propositions."

Собирается ли Nintendo как-то использовать это в играх - неизвестно. Остальную информацию читайте здесь:

Пришел с работы. Включаешь приставку. Ваш уровень усталости 90%. Снизьте уровень усталости до 60% чтобы начать играть. Приставка выключается.

[Akira desu]

"Уровень усталости слишком высок. Вам необходим массаж. Подключите устройство "Нинтендо Вундермассажёр" в слот для дополнительных аксессуаров Нинтендо QOL. Программы массажа вы можете приобрести в e-shop".

[AleriF]

Что-то не похоже, что эта штука выйдет в скором времени.

[Kito1984]

Среди девушек, пожалуй, будет популярно. Я прямо представляю, съела она такая "лишний" кусочек торта и тут включается радио, по которому транслируется звук сирены и голосом Левитана сообщается:"Внимание, вы только что нарушили свою диету. Оставайтесь на месте, к вам выехал штатный диетолог Нинтендо. Повторяю..."

[UNdrey]

[lonelyb]

Нинтендо - единственная на моей памяти компания, которая тщательно подходит к игре, как процессу, требующему присмотра. В Донки конге постоянные предупреждения про сделайте паузу, предупреждения при включении. А на PS3 жалкие слова про эпилепсию.

Мне вот, как родителю потенциальных игроманов, это скорее нравится.

who da fuck need this не, если серьезно, то давайте уже fire emblem и прочие РПГ, хер с ним, со здоровьем))

По крайней мере Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem у Nintendo точно в планах:

» Из отчета N «

Но тут лучше не оффтопить. А то сейчас опять зацепимся =)

Nintendo сны что-ли собралась визуализировать? =) Короче, Ивата speaks:

Everyone needs to sleep, and all of us get tired. There is no argument that whether or not we have sound sleep or not significantly affects our health, and many of us recognize through our daily lives that accumulated fatigue makes it difficult to maintain good health. However, we tend to recognize these conditions in a subjective fashion. Fatigue and sleep are themes that are rather hard to visualize in more objective ways. At Nintendo, we believe that if we could visualize them, there would be great potential for many people regardless of age, gender, language or culture.

Of course, there are currently several existing ways to measure our sleep status. However, even though there must potentially be significant demand to visualize sleep, there have not been any definitive products to date. We believe that this must be because devices launched so far have required consumers to make some kind of effort, which made it rather difficult to continue.
I decided that Nintendo should step into this QOL business because:

The company has now reached the point where we will be able to realize the Five “Non” Sensing elements. Five “Non” Sensing is the concept that in spite of eliminating the five things that have been necessary so far, we still can measure the status of sleep and fatigue automatically.
Among these Five “Non” Sensing elements, I mentioned the first keyword, “non-wearable,” which means that you do not need to attach anything to your body, during our last Corporate Management Policy Briefing. I believe, and I think many of you will agree, that we want to wear only things that are very comfortable when we go to bed. If we need to wear a device, say, on our wrist, or if we need to install some special equipment in our bed, we will sometimes forget, which therefore makes it hard to continue. Thus, I believe the “non-wearable” concept is very important. The next one is “non-contact,” which means that the product will not have any physical contact with your body. While attaching a sensor to your body is convenient for giving you a read out of your biological information, few people appear to enjoy having unusual objects attached to their bodies while sleeping. Therefore, the ability to measure without physical contact is another important point. The next one is “non-operating.” Not requiring the user to operate the device is another key point, as it can encourage continuity. Not everyone has a clear head when they get into or out of bed. Whether we have to operate a device or not when we get into and out of bed significantly changes our ability to continue. Another factor is “non-waiting,” or in other words, eliminating the wait for measurement results to be produced. From sensing to analysis, measuring biological information inevitably takes some time. This is one of the issues we could not overcome with our “Wii Vitality Sensor” project. However, if we can make it so that the measurement can be done automatically while the user is sleeping, and if it can be done without any operation, the user does not need to wait. Finally, “non-installation efforts,” or not requiring users to go through the trouble of installing the product to start is another important key factor.

Visualizing sleep and fatigue by automatically measuring sleep condition under this concept of Five “Non” Sensing is going to be the first step for Nintendo’s QOL business.

We will prepare the QOL Sensor that will automatically measure sleep condition under this Five “Non” Sensing concept. All you have to do is place the QOL Sensor on your bedside.
Inside the QOL Sensor is a non-contact radio frequency sensor, which measures such things as the movements of your body, breathing and heartbeat, all without physically touching your body. This automatically gathered data will be transmitted to the QOL cloud servers, which will then analyze the data measured by the sensor and visually represent sleep and fatigue results.

To achieve the visualization of sleep and fatigue, we have formed a business alliance with ResMed, which is headquartered in the U.S. and is the leading corporation in the world that develops, manufactures and markets medical equipment for the treatment, diagnosis and management of Sleep Disordered Breathing, COPD and other chronic diseases. The company operates business in dozens of different countries around the world while its main business is conducted in the U.S. I understand that they have many users in Japan too.

They have now provided Nintendo’s QOL business with the core of the Five “Non” Sensing elements, namely, non-contact sensor measurement technology and sleep condition estimation technology.
ResMed has been contributing to improving patients’ QOL in the medical equipment field by improving their sleep condition, and for Nintendo, a company that develops, manufactures and markets products for the general public, we think this partnership is a good fit as both companies can bring out each other’s strengths.

Since fatigue per se is not regarded as a disease in the medical world, it is said to be a field where sufficient research has yet to be conducted. We have been fortunate to encounter several experts who have been conducting cutting-edge research in the science of fatigue. Together, we are now developing technology to estimate fatigue.

Dr. Yasuyoshi Watanabe is an expert in a wide variety of health-related fields, and his name is recognized in fatigue science around the world. Dr. Watanabe kindly provided us with his comment: “Accurate and simplified fatigue measurements enable self-comprehension of the body which is very significant for contemporary humans, and I think it can be used as the benchmark to improve our QOL. We will all do our utmost to achieve this world-first product.”
The state-of-the-art research results in fatigue science that Dr. Hirohiko Kuratsune and Dr. Seiki Tajima have been jointly conducting will also be used in fatigue visualization for Nintendo’s QOL platform.

If we can realize the visualization of sleep and fatigue with Five “Non” Sensing elements, the QOL improvement cycle will go as follows:

First, with Five “Non” Sensing aspects, your sleep and fatigue can be automatically measured. All you will have to do is place the QOL sensor near your bed and then sleep as usual. The collected data will be transmitted to the QOL cloud servers and will be analyzed and evaluated. Based upon the sleep and fatigue status of the consumer which have both been “visualized,” services intended to improve QOL will be proposed. More specifically, a variety of actions will be recommended. Consumers will be encouraged to take certain actions, such as exercising or changing diet. Then, the results will be measured through Five “Non” Sensing elements each day. By continuing the measurements every day, users will be able to observe a gradual change achieved by their actions. This cycle can contribute to the improvement of QOL, and the QOL improvement platform can help realize it.

To summarize, With Five “Non” Sensing aspects, we will make it easy for anyone to use it.
With Nintendo’s know-how of hospitality as well as of making people want to continue, we will encourage people to enjoy using it every day. As a result, a meaningful cycle will be established aiming to improve people’s QOL. These are the basic elements of our QOL improvement platform.

Из последнего интервью Иваты Asahi News:

Game hardware, game software, and health care are Nintendo’s three main pillars

Iwata: “It’s not necessary to be particular about game hardware”

Iwata seems to be saying that Nintendo’s health care business doesn’t need to be tied to its video game consoles

Nintendo considering making a service that analyzes data from its sleep sensor

Users would be given ways for exercising and eating right

Iwata: “Leveraging our video game know-how, we’ll make it so even those who have trouble following through can stick with this program and have fun”

Nintendo believes health care is a way it can reclaim customers

Nintendo is also thinking of ways to get into the education field
