Controller Allows Video Gamer Who Lacks Hands to Compete Using Feet
From: Medical Design Technology - 06/23/2016

Twp Johns Hopkins students have devised a sandal-like controller that allows
a player with no fingers to control on-screen video game action with his or
her feet.

The team had produced adjustable padded footwear that could enable a seated
player to participate in video games. Beneath each shoe's padding are three
sensors that can pick up various foot movements, such as tilting or raising
the front or heel of each foot.

The students designed intricate circuitry within each shoe that translates
each foot movement into a different command to guide the activity in a video
game. In its most basic setup, two of the high-tech shoes can control eight
different game buttons. But the inventors say that with practice, this number
could increase to as many as 20 buttons.
