as the immersive multimedia gaming market continues its growth path, software developers and system integrators will need a user-friendly solution to freely track motion in any environment. xenoma’s ‘eskin’ aims to be the very answer. using four sensors per arm, the garment can monitor a user’s motion necessary for fluid and accurate representation in a variety of game simulations without the use of cameras. arm movements are then translated onto the computer screen by a three-dimensional character that would look right at home in a video game.
