Disney's Playmation Takes Active Gaming to the Next Level

26/06/2015

Playmation is an action video-game played in the real world with wearable technology. The tech detects when the player runs, jumps and shoots. It uses this information to take them through different adventures, narrated complete with sound effects.

At the end of a round you go back and hook up to your Smartphone or Tablet to get a score and purchase upgrades. It's a little like the Toys to Life games, but with the action happening in the real world.
