Currently playing games began to approach a real experience. This is evident from the various devices that make gamers as directly involved with the game. One emerging today is Virtual Reality (VR) in the form of a headset. However, a hardware developer named Matt Long wanted to revolutionize gaming technology by offering a system that makes gamers feel the direct contact with the game. This technology is called the Realm System.
If the Nintendo Wii console invites players to directly engage by moving a special controller, then the Realm System has the same concept. But interestingly is the gamer can feel the contact of the game. For example, when playing boxing, gamers will feel the vibration and shock when his character was punched by the enemy.
In the Realm System, there are 2 controller that will be connected directly to the hand and a belt. Controller that is equipped with a sensor Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) that can track the position, speed and movement of the hands and body.
The controller is connected to the belt via straps, the level of firmness varied, whether low, medium or high. So if you play a game of tennis, for example, the straps used should use a strap with a low level of firmness. As for the game to cut down trees for example, better use a strap with a high degree of firmness. Users must change the strap manually adjust the game to be played.
The existing system also uses an algorithm to calculate the biometric information, such as power and energy produced gamer. This will determine the action of the game, like how hard you hit an enemy. In addition, because the system can read information gamer power and energy produced, then the Realm System can be run as a fitness tracking.
To date, the Realm System can be used in conjunction with Kinect on Xbox One, conventional webcam, camera smartphones and tablets, as well as virtual reality headset Oculus Rift. Matt Long and his team have developed six games optimized for Realm System. The games include VR Boxing, Tennis, and Zombie Wood Chop Sushi.
Realm System is still in the development stage, and a version of the development kit ready to be released in September at a price of $ 200. If the later is ready to be mass produced, then the Realm System will really bring a new revolution of gaming.
