GameCube by Intellect Motion Encourages More Player Movements

— January 16, 2013 — Lifestyle
Playing video games is one of the leading factors to contemporary children's sedentary lifestyles, which the GameCube by Intellect Motion hopes to change. It is a unique system of harnesses and bungee cords that forces players to get physical while in front of the computer or television.

Unlike the Nintendo Wii or Xbox 360 Kinect, the GameCube by Intellect Motion not only encourages movement, but also makes it more challenging to ensure players are actually getting a workout. It has been described as an advanced Gravitation Distribution System, as written on Psfk, "that creates a controlled gaming environment via the changes in gravitational pull."

Equipped with a computer, web cams and wearable sensors, the GameCube by Intellect Motion also appears to create a more immersive experience.
Trend Themes
1. Physical Gaming - The trend of physical gaming is emerging as a way to combat sedentary lifestyles by incorporating physical activity into video games.
2. Immersive Gaming - The trend of immersive gaming is leading to the development of gaming systems that create a more immersive experience through the use of computer, web cams, and wearable sensors.
3. Challenging Fitness - The trend of challenging fitness in video games is driving the development of gaming systems like the GameCube by Intellect Motion that make workouts more demanding and effective.
Industry Implications
1. Gaming - The gaming industry can capitalize on the physical gaming trend by creating innovative and engaging video games that prioritize physical activity.
2. Fitness Equipment - The fitness equipment industry can explore opportunities to integrate gaming elements into their products to make workouts more immersive and enjoyable.
3. Technology - The technology industry can play a role in the development of gaming systems that incorporate computer, web cams, and wearable sensors to create a more immersive gaming experience.
