Abstract

An adherent device configured to couple to a user of a video game is provided. The adherent device measures user data, such as heart rate, respiration rate, temperature, hydration, activity, and posture, and wirelessly transmits the measured data to the circuitry of the video game. The video game may comprise circuitry configured to alter the gaming experience based on the received user data. The video game may comprise circuitry configured to display an avatar. At least one of the activity or the appearance of the avatar is configured to change in response to the measured user data. The adherent device may also comprise adherent devices with accelerometers and which are coupled to the user's limbs. The adherent devices with accelerometers detect motion of the user's limbs and transmit the motion data to circuitry of the video game. Movements of the avatar can be based on the received motion data.
