      <title>Engineering TV: LabVIEW Power Pad</title>
      <link>http://decibel.ni.com/content/community/zone/blog/2008/11/08/engineering-tv-labview-power-pad</link>
      <description>&lt;!-- [DocumentBodyStart:61017737-c43a-4837-bec0-e8299db16f25] --&gt;&lt;div class='jive-rendered-content'&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the spirit of the Beijing Olympics, NI featured an interactive LabVIEW demonstration at NIWeek 2008 where competitors could compete in a video game reminiscent of the original Konami Track &amp;amp; Field series. Only this game was programmed using LabVIEW and the control interface utilizes the classic Nintendo Power Pad, a mat with twelve pressure-sensors embedded between two layers of flexible plastic. Check out the video &lt;a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://www.youtube.com/v/aG-VSawdrz8&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;object height="186" width="224"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/aG-VSawdrz8"/&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"/&gt;&lt;embed height="186" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/aG-VSawdrz8" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="224" wmode="transparent"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- [DocumentBodyEnd:61017737-c43a-4837-bec0-e8299db16f25] --&gt;</description>
