Motion Control Via Belt

A maker named Tolko built BlobJump, a Raspberry Pi-based game similar to the Chrome dinosaur runner, controlled by belts worn on the body instead of a keyboard. Each belt uses an ESP32-C3 microcontroller, an MPU-6050 motion sensor, and a rechargeable battery to wirelessly detect jumping and ducking motions and translate them into on-screen avatar movement. The project was designed to encourage kids to be physically active while gaming, and also serves as an approachable hardware/software project for getting kids interested in building electronics.
