Problem Statement
The concept behind our project is to create an interactive experience for our players. We have designed a game in which the players each control a Gyrosphere and the idea is for them to knock out each other’s Gyrosphere out of an arena. In our game, the player is their own controller. We give them the ability to use their hands as a remote for the Gyrosphere. This works by having their hand over a Leap Motion Controller. The motions your hand makes are translated on a laptop and are then sent to the microcontroller which is then transmitted to the Gyrosphere. Within the sphere, there is a receiver to receive the signals to tell the motor what to do. The Gyrosphere will be able to move forward, backward, and rotate 360 degrees in both directions.
