Motion Sensing
![]() |
A lot of people will have painted video games as being something you have to sit down on the couch and the most exercise you're getting solely in your thumbs. In recent years though, video games have been getting gamers to put down the controller or get more active when playing games. The fact that many people treat some video games as an actual exercise aid has introduced video games to an entire new audience.
There are already a wide range of games that encourage movement from the Nintendo Wii whose sole input method is based on the movements made by the Wii-mote controller, even music based games like Guitar Hero, Rockband and Dance Dance Revolution encourage us to get a similar workout that real musicians get diving around on stage.
In the coming year other console brands Sony and Microsoft aim to introduce major steps into the motion controlled video games market. Sony already includes a motion sensing controller but is only really limited to tilting the controller to balance your character or peek round corners. Sony's big effort is their Playstation Move controller. The controller is similar to the Wii-mote except it has a glowing orb on the end which is picked up by the PlayStation Eye camera.
The new input claims to be more detailed than the Wii's infra-red based sensors and obviously a wider range of games with superior graphics quality over the Nintendo console. Microsoft, not to be beaten by bitter rivals Sony also intends to introduce motion control via speech and motion recognition with their "Project Natal" camera.
Ambitious projects have seen people able to communicate with an on screen character and even detect a disparaging tone in your voice, which promptly upsets the in game character. Some early testers have claimed there is a slight delay which is understandable considering the masses of calculations and computations going on behind the scenes.
Sony has an expected date for autumn 2010 for their PlayStation Move product whilst Microsoft has had a few delays and setbacks pushing it to Christmas at the earliest, although that particular launch date is sure to be perfect to catch the Christmas buying crowds! With plenty of motion encouraging consoles and games now available video games can be perfect for getting children or even grownups to exercise more, some nursing homes even use Nintendo Wiis as great exercise aids with the Wii Bowling game being particularly popular!
Check out the video games consoles available now at lower prices, even bundled with a few games. For the High definition consoles you should look into Plasma or LCD TVs too.

Sensing, Intelligence, Motion $129.99 A leap forward in the field of robotics Until now, most of the advances in robotics have taken place in structured environments. Scientists and engineers have designed highly sophisticated robots, but most are still only able to operate and move in predetermined, planned environments designed specifically for the robots and typically at very high cost. This new book takes robotics to the next level by setting forth the theory and techniques needed to achieve robotic motion in unstructured environments. The ability to move and operate in an arbitrary, unplanned environment will lead to automating a wide range of new robotic tasks, such as patient care, toxic site cleanup, and planetary exploration. The approach that opens the door for robots to handle unstructured tasks is known as Sensing-Intelligence-Motion (SIM), which draws from research in topology, computational complexity, control theory, and sensing hardware. Using SIM as an underlying foundation, the author's carefully structured presentation is designed to: * Formulate the challenges of sensor-based motion planning and then build a theoretical foundation for sensor-based motion planning strategies * Investigate promising algorithmic strategies for mobile robots and robot arm manipulators, in both cases addressing motion planning for the whole robot body * Compare robot performance to human performance in sensor-based motion planning to gain better insight into the challenges of SIM and help build synergistic human-robot teams for tele-operation tasks. It is both exciting and encouraging to discover that robot performance decisively exceeds human performance in certain tasks requiring spatial reasoning, even when compared to trained operators * Review sensing hardware that is necessary to realize the SIM paradigm Some 200 illustrations, graphic sketches, and photos are included to clarify key issues, develop and validate motion planning approaches, and demonstrate full systems in operation. As the first book fully devoted to robot motion planning in unstructured environments, Sensing, Intelligence, Motion is a must-read for engineers, scientists, and researchers involved in robotics. It will help them migrate robots from highly specialized applications in factories to widespread use in society where autonomous robot motion is needed. |
