Inspired by Blade Runner my teammates, Alina Balean and Ayanna Seals, and I created a wearable game controller for the emojicon game I developed in ICM. Based on your running gestures the Emoji athlete “Dick Richard” moves like you move, and is trying to catch good emoji’s (star magic ☆゚and heart) and fighting bad emoji’s (disappointment Ծ_Ծ and cat =^● ⋏ ●^=).
We developed our own flex sensor and based on the gesture of running (closing and opening your elbows) the game detects if you are running, jumping, or standing.
