Project Overview:
ExerBox is a motion controlled game console combined with wearable controller. The wearable controller is kind of a pair of gloves, and it contains physical sensors and a microcontroller. The player’s motion data detected from physical sensors will be analyzed by microcontroller and transmitted to the main console by Bluetooth ports. In the main console, the microcontroller will analyze the motion data so that Raspberry Pi can calculate and output correct image data through HDMI module to screen.Project Specific Success Criteria:
- PSSC #1: An ability to detect hand motion by accelerometers. (Up, Down, Left, Right)
- PSSC #2: An ability to detect special gesture such as making a fist by shorting an electrical circuit.
- PSSC #3: An ability to transmit motion data to main game console through Bluetooth
- PSSC #4: An ability to read pushbutton inputs to open the menu in the game to select options. (turn off, volume control, difficulty)
- PSSC #5: An ability to smoothly perform flight shooting game on a monitor controlled by wearable equipment.
