   Goal: Cre­ate a per­son­al­ized Wii char­ac­ter that resem­bled me

   Inter­face: Nin­tendo Wii played through tele­vi­sion in liv­ing room

   Inter­ac­tion: Using the motion con­trolled “Wiimote” I began the process of start­ing my char­ac­ter. Start­ing from the Main Menu, I selected the Mii Chan­nel, and pressed start. This opens the Mii Chan­nel allow­ing you to see all the char­ac­ters cre­ated, edit cur­rent char­ac­ters and cre­ate a new “Mii” per­sona. I selected “Cre­ate New Mii.” I then had to select the gen­der of my Mii char­ac­ter. This brought me to the char­ac­ter build­ing menu where I began devel­op­ing my Mii. Start­ing with the face options, which pro­vide a vari­ety of head shapes and com­plex­ion col­ors, I care­fully selected the clos­est to my own. From there, the cre­ator has the option of choos­ing the next step, from body shape, hair, eye­brows, eyes, nose, mouth, and acces­sories. The size and height options allow the cre­ator to manip­u­late the size and height con­trols to cre­ate the appro­pri­ate shape. The other options offer a vari­ety of facial “pieces” to put together the desired face. Once fin­ish­ing my Mii character’s appear­ance, I had to name it, pro­vide a birth­day, select its favorite color, and deter­mine whether or not my Mii will min­gle with the other char­ac­ters. The favorite color selec­tion changes the color of the Mii char­ac­ters clothes. This fin­ished the process, so I selected quit, then save and quit. 

   Time: The aspect of time relied heav­ily on my own deci­sions and how long I chose to spend on the cre­ation process. There was almost no load­ing time and the game sys­tem responded quite imme­di­ately with the controllers. 

   Expe­ri­ence: This expe­ri­ence, though unim­por­tant, was pos­i­tive and enjoy­able. I had not really used a Wii before and was delighted a the ease of nav­i­gat­ing the menus and con­trol­ling the “Wiimote.”
