SmartHome Game
Let's Play!The SmartGame provides an alternative way to bring portable gaming to your wrist. SmartGame is not a replacement for any home gaming console, it is instead exploring the possibility to bring along a portable gaming device everywhere within a small footprint.
The wristband integrates an accelerometer and a strip of five NeoPixels LEDs. SmartGame can be played as an individual unit, with multiple players through the SmartHome server or, supported by a desktop application, as a Bluetooth GATT peripheral (GATT is an acronym for Generic Attribute Profile and defines the way that two Bluetooth Low Energy devices transfer data back and forth). As a Bluetooth GATT peripheral, any data collected by the SmartGame device can be read by the desktop application to play the game of your choice from a highly expandable library on any machine with browser support. The desktop application can also send messages dynamically to update or control the wristband peripheral.
