The Ankkoro Emotion Sense wrist wearable is a new device from Ironova that is set to debut at CES 2017 and help to further enhance the video game market in new, unexpected ways. The wearable works by keeping track of a wearers emotions to continuously influence what's happening on-screen in a video game. This means that if a user is in panic, the vision will become blurred or if they are in a calm state then they can play with precision.
