Abstract :
Pressure sensors connecting with accelerometer and gyroscope through conductive, washable fabric, is designed into a dancing game to detect movements of a player. The firmware in microcontroller mounted on a belt can judge the player´s movements with enough accuracy that the player would not be limited by conventional wires and resident equipments as used in other popular dancing games. This novel wearable entertainment system provides a mixed reality game interface in which users can dance through 3 Modes with increasing sophistication.
