Wearables Gaming Gloves
•Kinect Users can engage in VETS using the Kinect device, which could be plugged into a TV set or a projector and a computing device (preferably a gaming laptop or PC). The Kinect device detects users’ motions as they play the VETS games. •Tablet Users can opt to play with the VETS using a tablet, which, with its internal camera, can detect the users’ motion, mimicking the Kinect device. Users can also use wearable gaming gloves to detect users’ motion as they interact with the games. •Virtual Reality (VR) headsets Several VETS games have been built in the VR environment to provide a more immersive experience for users.
