This innovation eliminates game controllers and will basically utilize the body parts to control the game. It operates using a monochrome camera – which works with infrared- a microphone, and along with other loads of software that will enable you to move in a full 3d space, use voice commands and enjoy connecting and sharing it with your friends.
