Title: Swingy lets you play iPad games with your feet Post by: HCK on October 28, 2015, 03:00:13 am Swingy lets you play iPad games with your feet
<article> <section class="page"> <p>When you think of an iPad game controller, you probably imagine a MFi Bluetooth gamepad, or maybe something that attaches to your iOS device, like the Gamevice (http://www.gamevice.com/). What you probably aren’t picturing are two hunks of curved wood that you stand on so you can play Swing Pong (think ping-pong) with your feet.</p><p>Swingy, which is live on Kickstarter now (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2145988912/swingy-play-ping-pong-with-your-feet/description) and should ship in March 2016, is just that: A set of balance boards that also serves as a game controller. The two wooden steps give you a place to stand, and the curved bottom engages your core muscles as you make small adjustments to keep your balance. A small sensor underneath each footrest pairs to your iPad (or Android tablet) with Bluetooth LE, and you tilt the balance boards with your feet to control the ping-pong paddles on screen.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2998159/ios-apps/swingy-lets-you-play-ipad-games-with-your-feet.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: Swingy lets you play iPad games with your feet (http://www.macworld.com/article/2998159/ios-apps/swingy-lets-you-play-ipad-games-with-your-feet.html#tk.rss_all) |
