Fangtian Ying, Milan Ye, Pengcheng Zhu, He Zhao, Lining Yao, Yan Shi · 2009
This paper presents our prototype Run Chicken Run which is a game platform where user can interact with a hacked electric toy “E-chicken” through physically metaphorical movement. By wearing input devices on elbows and then flapping arms, user can control the pace of movement of the E-chicken. In this way, the user interacts physically with the toy and socially with other players as well. To enable this, the game platform employs low-cost, readily available sensors, wireless modules, and microcontrollers.
