Abstract

The largest area of technology-driven game research is the development of novel input techniques. Researchers are exploring input techniques to track the user´s motion via computer vision or new physical devices. We use two socks and a pair of pants with dome-shaped sensors inside to detect the change in posture of the feet and hips. We design a novel wearable entertainment system communicating with a computer and providing a mixed reality game in which users wear two socks and a pair of pants to play the dancing game.
