Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Can touchless tech create 'equitable' gaming?
Games, online games, in particular, give people the chance to compete with
others who play thousands of kilometers away beyond borders, ages, and colors.
Most players use their mouse or game controller with their hands. However,
there are people who are unable to use their hands to control such devices. If
they can play games in some way or another, they’ll be able to not only enjoy playing
games by themselves but also interacting or competing with others around the
world. Some devices track eye movement but they work only on particular equipment.
Now, comes new software called MotionInput that allows users to create any new
inputs for clicks or controls, including facial expressions or physical
gestures. Then the computer’s webcam reads those movements and the software
controls the movements and actions in the game accordingly. What is so special about
this touchless computing technology is that it is designed to operate any game
on any standard PC. Can ordinary people also use the software in the classroom
or office to play games without being known to others?
Enjoy reading the article and learn about this new enabling technology.
