BodyPad – the fighting simulator
Filed in: Gadgets — June 2nd, 2005

French start-up XkPad has come up with a way to move mayhem off the video screen and take it into the living room.
The company’s BodyPad–which could end up a big consumer electronics hit this holiday season–is a group of wearable sensors that essentially turn a person’s arms and legs into a joystick for PlayStation 2 or Xbox fighting games.
Thrusting your right arm forward at shoulder height prompts your onscreen counterpart to whack his opponent in the head with a fist. Stepping forward and pushing “down” on one of the handheld directional controllers that comes with the package results in a knee kick.
Thought:
That gonna be tired~ Exercise while playing video games, not a bad idea huh?
