Wow, this one is surely interesting. A mix between an espresso machine and a Nintendo Wii nunchuk. Yuppp, the world’s first Wii Nunchuk-controlled espresso machine! It is made of a Rancilio Silvia espresso machine, an Arduine micro-controller, and some high-end hacking. The result is a machine with integrated calendar, sleep timer, wake-up alarm, and a temperature regulation. Check out the movie after the jump.

It’s a fact that one of the reason why Nintendo Wii become very successful is because it comes with a unique and innovative controller, the Wiimote and the nunchuk. These combo delivers a brand new gaming experience. Even the boring FIFA series from EA gets sooo exciting in Wii. Really! Anyway, the phenomenon of nunchuk has inspired a peripheral company named Zeetoo and led them to develop a dedicated gaming controller for cell phone, “Zeemote”. Its body has Wii’s nunchuk’s shape and it uses bluetooth to communicate with your handset. Furthermore, there are an analogue stick on the front and one button on the back, just like nunchuk.

The bad news, Zeemote is still on concept prototype phase. But the good news, the company even designed another alternate version of this controller. One with motion sensor, and other with tracking ball. Hell, it surely sounds fun to play golf in the middle of the street using Zeemote.

Worry that it’d not support your cell phone? Well, no fret, the Zeemote will support Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, and LG’s handsets. Moreover, several game developers, including Sega Mobile, Fishlabs, and Reaxion; has secured $6.9 million funding (around £3.5m) to bring Zeemote into reality. Can’t wait for that!
