Freqtric Game enhances interpersonal communication in both virtual space and real space. Freqtric Games uses human skin as a conductor. The sensing module can detect not only skin contact but also intensity of skin contact. This is a unique game-input technique. This project is one of a series called Freqtric Project, which was introduced last year with Freqtric Drums (SIGGRAPH 2006 Emerging Technologies), a device that turns an audience surrounding a performer into drums so that the performer, as a drummer, can communicate with audience members as if they were a set of drums. Vision Freqtric Game is part of an ongoing effort to develop "touch as a interface" or "BtoB (Body-to-Body) Tactile" technologies that allow users to play games not only in a virtual space but also in a real space. This new way of playing video games is small and low-cost, so it is easy to embed in current game controllers.
