Full-body gaming systems seemingly became obsolete in the face of virtual reality and other kinds of modernized multimedia experiences, but the Rebuff Reality 'BodyLink' has been created to help revive it. The system works with just two components including a wireless handheld motion controller and a main console that will connect to the user's existing television. The controller will provide haptic feedback, while the console has two cameras that will capture the player's bodily position in real-time to work well with a variety of games.
The Rebuff Reality 'BodyLink' system also features a secondary camera that will capture the movement of the user and incorporate them into the game experience in rich 4K quality. The system is powered by an eight-core CPU and four-core GPU.
