Motion Gaming with Force & Resistance
From: Wireless Design & Development - 02/20/2015

A world first gaming system using resistance to deliver an immersive physical
experience.

Realm uses resistance to measure energy expenditure/force. This system can
revolutionise the way games are played, delivering an immersive 'feeling is
believing' experience.

For the first time ever a players energy expenditure can be a factor in how
games are played. By the way, the system also delivers real health and
fitness benefits.

The loading of muscles as you wield a sword, the weight in your arms as you
hold up your rifle, the explosion of power as you throw a punch. Realm turns
imagination into a physical experience.

Realm's ergonomic handheld IMUs (Inertial Measurement Units) precisely track
hand and body movements, accurately measuring the positions, speed and
direction of those movements. Combined with resistance and using a unique
algorithm, the patented system delivers incredibly accurate biometric
information such as force, power and energy expenditure (calories burnt).

The hand-held controllers track hand and body movements through the use of
sensors, and measure positions, accelerations and orientations of gamers. A
unique algorithm uses resistance to allow the system to deliver biometric
information on force and power.

The ability to measure a player’s power can fundamentally change the way
games are played. From hands-on gameplay to real-time display of effort
during exercise, Realm immerses users like never before.
