I haven’t made many games, but we do use lots of games in our lab to demonstrate our sensors.
Video game controllers are just a way for you to interact with a computer – we call that a ‘Human Computer Interface’. Sometimes we’ll use our wearable sensors as that interface, so basically we’ll use them as a controller for games.
Right now, we have a game where you can blink to control a jumping character (a bit like the old Mario games). Otherwise, we are also working on flying a drone using a glove with accelerometers (like the sensors in your phone).
