I gotta say this about that. Although I must admit that's "innovative", I also must admit it's just a gimic in my eyes. It just seems like another ROB if you ask me, well not that bad.
(You know I think I said this last time I heard about it, oh well you hear it again!)
I mean, let's just invent a new device called the KAREN (Kickarse Automated Ridiculous Enhancement Nicknack)to enhance gameplay! It'll be a device that when you press various buttons on it, it directly presses buttons on the controller! Yeah, and it'll look like something from the game! You need it to play, and wow, now you can press the buttons on your controller without ever actually having to press them with your own fingers!
I mean, how much could this add to gameplay that putting a light sensor in the game itself (like something the character wears on it's wrist) couldn't do? Putting it in the game would actually make it more gamelike. Instead of just walking inside and outside the whole game, you would actually have to put the light sensor in the game in light and dark situations. Seriously, although light level would be an interesting thing, actually using real world light levels is bordering on the retarded.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
