How about the infra red port on the 3DS? I think it'll utilize that seeing the tiny black thing in front of the ring.
I will not buy this, it looks like a cheap piece of sheit.

radio isn't light D: light can't penetrate wallsWifi is just a small part of the radio spectrum of light,
visible light can't but visible light is part of the same thing that radio is. the electromagnetic spectrum. You can only see the visible part, but what you can't see of the light spectrum usually consist of a lot more (like radio, infra-red, ultra-violet, x-ray, etc). We use light to describe the whole thing, as well as the small part that we can see with our eyes (visible light), so it can get confusing.radio isn't light D: light can't penetrate walls
anyway, i am more thinking about the device got a mic that listens to specific frequencies played when you activate the effect...
In that case you just use RF, not WiFi. Much cheaper.I could see the same thing that lets you see passerbys in your X and Y work for this thing(wifi). It says something about syncing, so you just verify "is this your ring?" in settings(if that), and when a move of a type is used, a super tiny signal is sent to the ring, bam vibration.
Wifi is just a small part of the radio section of the electromagnetic spectrum (meaning light). As the ring doesn't need security, it's cheap enough to use a small radio receiver that looks for a particular signal.
That's what I was thinking. A cheap RF receiver should be able to receive a wifi signal, and to be honest, I don't really know what kind of signals the 3ds is capable of sending beyond wifi and infrared. The "syncing" thing is the only thing that makes me question that setup.In that case you just use RF, not WiFi. Much cheaper.
RF is not WiFi compatible, completely different bandwidths The O3DS uses a pretty crappy 2.4GHz b/g WiFi antenna (not even n? C'mon Nintendo...). The N3DS supposedly has a better chip (probably supporting n).That's what I was thinking.

oh yeah, there are regulations about such things. I mean wifi and bluetooth are just specialized RF, so it's just not done because of interference or power requirements or something? To be honest, I'm completely out of my depths when it comes to regulations and legal restrictions and licensing and the like, I just know the sciency parts.RF is not WiFi compatible, completely different bandwidths The O3DS uses a pretty crappy 2.4GHz b/g WiFi antenna (not even n?

Why would I buy a children's toy if I'm not a manchild?
1. Its a hunk of expensive plastic
2. Its really a bracelet/bangle not a ring
3. It vibrates when you use a Z-move in game. Yippee
4. Yokai watch rip off
