However, it didn't sound like it would be a wearable device -- even though it's the done thing (http://www.engadget.com/2014/10/29/microsoft-band-leak/). According to aReuters report, the device would track you from your bedside and is currently being co-developed with Resmed. The US-based company typically makes products for people with sleep disorders. It will form part of its new healthcare division (http://www.engadget.com/2014/01/29/nintendo-wii-u-ds-on-demand-gaming/) inside the gamesmaker, marking a return to wellness hardware: something it has already touched on, way back, with the Wii Fit board (http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/11/nintendo-wii-fit-gets-you-stepping/). For an idea of what it all could do, we've added a video from Resmed's sleeping tech. Exactly how this will dovetail with our Tomodachi Life village remains to be seen.
