KREYOS Smartwatch with BT & gestures. Indiegogo crowdfunding

Post by metronome »

I bought one of these a few days ago and was having a muse when it occurred to me this thing has got a crap loads of sensors and bluetooth access and an SDK, what about possible applications for VR and player monitoring....

Some of these might need something like a fitbit flex and then use the watch to relay back to the PC using the kreyos

Pedometer - Movement tracking to see when you're walking?
Gyrometer + 6 axis dof - perhaps track your IRL rotation so if you turn around so do you ingame?

Heartrate monitor - as the gamer raises in tension then simulate in game effects for low health like when you're close to death like ending to Mass Effect 3, Dead Space it could even vibrate :p

Altitude - Perhaps see when you're crouching so you can take cover...

Gestures - Sword fights, throwing grenades etc....

I'd love to play a James Bond type game in VR :p
