Gamification motivates many people to achieve goal that have eluded them for years. Anuj Malviya, Josh Elias Joy, and Akshay Phate as a part of the Wearables Sytem Design course at IIIT Hyderabad, have made a wearable gaming system that can be used for exercise. Here’s more from Instructables:
We designed a wearable gaming system to motivate people to exercise and also have fun at the same time. As for the game we took inspiration from the google chrome dino game, but the catch here is that you have to jump in real life to play the game. To make things more competitive and fun, we have made it a multiplayer game.
The wearable gaming system consists of a Receiver and a Transmitter. The Transmitter is a wearable device, since we are building a 2-player game we need 2 transmitters. The Receiver emulates a keyboard and sends the right keystrokes to make the dino jump when the player jumps.
