Motion Control

Motion control technology is nothing new, but in recent years this technology has been integrated into more and more devices. When we think of interacting with our PC or game consoles we usually think of a mouse, keyboard, or some kind of handheld controller. However in our technology driven world those things are becoming a thing of the past with the introduction of touchscreens and motion sensor controllers. Motion sensor controllers allow users to interact with their devices using simple motions with the body. In 2010 Xbox launched Kinect; it's motion sensor controller for its gaming console.(Braue, 2011) The Xbox controller allows gamers to interact with games like never before, it allows gamers to use their whole body in the gaming experience. I can't wait to see how far this technology goes.
