Concept: To create a gyroscope controller wearable controller that is connected to a spaceship game in which there would be power-ups and better graphics for the final project.
Objectives:
Design a Gyroscope Controller: Create a hardware prototype of a gyroscope-based controller that can detect and interpret the user’s hand motions as input commands.
Develop Interface Software: Write software that interprets the gyroscope data and translates it into game commands that are compatible with the game.
Integrate with a Space Simulation Game: Modify my existing Midterm game or develop a simple new game designed to work specifically with this controller.
– User Testing and Feedback: Conduct testing sessions to gather feedback and improve the interface and game interaction based on user responses.
Methodology
Hardware Development: Use a 3-axis gyroscope sensor to capture tilt and rotation. Design the controller’s physical form factor to be strapped around the hands.
Integrate with Bluetooth or USB for wireless connectivity with the P5js game.
Software Development: Develop software to read data from the gyroscope sensor. Convert the gyroscope data into P5js-compatible input commands.
Ensure the software supports real-time interaction with minimal latency.
Game Integration: Adapt a spaceship simulation game to respond to the new controller inputs. Implement basic gameplay features such as navigation, obstacle avoidance, and speed control using gyroscope inputs.
Testing and Iteration: Test the controller with users of varying gaming experience. Collect qualitative and quantitative feedback on usability, responsiveness, and enjoyment. Refine the hardware and software iteratively based on this feedback.
