Enthusiastic third-party developers sometimes surprise gamers with their unusual ideas even more than big companies. And the user under the nickname JustAn0therAndy, of course, is a vivid confirmation of this – he created a unique mobile application of its kind (unfortunately, exclusively for Android smartphones), which allows you to translate a person’s steps in the real world into the corresponding actions in video games. This means that the gamer will walk while standing in his room, while his virtual character will move to the beat in a fictional world. A great opportunity to get yourself moving more.
In order to implement this innovation, gamers need to install the appropriate application on their smartphone, and then synchronize its work with a supported game on a PC. Yes, console fans in this case are left behind. When the synchronization process is completed, the user needs to put the smartphone in their pants pocket and start walking in place. It is worth noting that the application on the smartphone evaluates the data from the accelerometer, so you need to walk quite actively, raising your knees high. As a result, the smartphone will record the movements of a person, transmitting data to a computer, which will already instruct the character in the video game that it is time to go.
To demonstrate the process of his application, the developer made a video using the software in the popular games Death Stranding, The Witcher 3, Cybeprunk 2077 and GTA V. The software will be especially useful in the first project, which itself is imprisoned for long walking – here are the possibilities of the latest developments will reveal themselves to 100%. The best part is that in all the games that are officially (if I may say so) supported by the application, the character began to move immediately after JustAn0therAndy began to step in place in front of his computer.
In addition, the developer does not plan to stop there – he said that he had not yet tested his invention during the passage of VR projects, but he would do so in the near future. And if the software works as it should, the audience of virtual reality fans will have a great tool for deeper immersion in the story. The main thing in the case of VR is not to forget that you need to walk in place, and not run forward with the character.
