The new era is of motion sensitive controllers; an enhanced technology that detects even a minor movement to perceive the moves and gives real life simulation. Fundamentally the technology contains two very fine, flat pieces of silicon of approx. negligible weight embedded inside the controller tied against silicon springs that helps them hold in right place and as you move the controller the set up detects even a negligible fluctuation and hence leading it to convert these data into simulation.
