BodyLink

BodyLink is pitched as a motion game console that brings VR, AR and motion gaming together in one living-room device. According to the maker, its full-body tracking turns the player's own movement into the controller, with sports, dance, fitness and social games among the intended activities.

Tracking the whole body

The maker says BodyLink captures movement across the entire body and mirrors it in games and apps in real time, which it argues makes play feel more natural than conventional controller input. In VR mode, the campaign claims, avatars move more realistically as a result. The tracking relies on what the maker describes as an advanced camera system built for real-time full-body tracking and AR fitness.

Dance titles are a showcase use case: in games such as "Dance Dash," players move their whole body in time with the music. For workouts, the AR fitness features display health data in real time, which the maker says helps make exercise more efficient, and let players see how their movements are reflected in the game.

Android underneath

• Runs Android OS
• Apps and games can be downloaded from the Google Play Store
• Compatibility with retro games
• Support for a motion-game emulator that the maker says allows older classic titles to be played

Looking ahead, the maker positions BodyLink as an open development platform, suggesting new apps and games will follow, and sees potential applications in fitness and rehabilitation alongside entertainment. These are stated ambitions rather than demonstrated outcomes.
