INTERACTIVE EMBODIED ROBOT VIDEOGAME THROUGH THE USE OF SENSORS AND PHYSICAL OBJECTS

摘要

The present invention refers to an embodied Robot videogame apparatus that receives input through the (human) user's physical actions (full body actions), contact and physiological signals (Bio-signals). The apparatus has as principal components: led/sound sensor eye with a video camera; mechanical lever; rotation sensor; rubber torso; solar battery; sensor leds; heart rate and galvanic skin response sensor; multi-touch computer display, with a I/O board v2.0 Bluetooth wireless connection; multiplayer button; microphone; intensity sensor; feet support; suspensions; rubber pneumatic wheels; accelerometer sensor; plastic leveler sensor; wireless Bluetooth digitizers; Velcro strips; and GPS. The apparatus includes a series of electronic sensor that detects the user's input physical actions, contact and physiological signals in real-time. The output result is visualized on a multi-touch computer display. The player's real-time actions are translated in virtual actions in the software game scenarios (e.g., running with the physical robot represents the same virtual action in the game avatar). The apparatus establishes a simultaneous connection between physical and virtual realities and can be shared through online connection.
