...fishing rod, reeling in a stubborn virtual fish. The third game, and probably the most fun, is also the simplest: tennis. The controller becomes a racket, and I'm smacking forehands and stroking backhands. The sensors are fine enough that you can scoop under the ball to lob it, or slice it for spin.

...which hikes the ball," Schappert says. "No buttons to press, just gesture a hiking motion, and the ball's in the hands of the QB. To pass the ball, you gesture a throwing motion.

Number two is the footwork of the guy guarding the post, and number three is to help defenders, being in positions to rotate to lob passes.” Stehle is Harvard’s leading scorer, with 15.7 points per game.
