With all the big dogs at Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo already working their asses off to make us work our asses off, you may wonder why I found these guys to be so innovative. With good reason, personally it takes a lot to get me off the couch, you know, nerd and all, and even a rousing game of Dance Central only gets me excited for a few rounds at best. So the fact that Aiken Labs has designed this system to work with any system doesn’t impress me.  What does impress me is that you can use this system with your PC and program it to function with any of your input keys, or even your mouse.

Aiken Labs shows off modular motion-sensing game kit, we give it a swing (video)
If you're looking to get your motion-controlled gaming fix, there are plenty of ways to go -- cameras,electromagnets and accelerometers, for starts -- but most figure you'll buy a single peripheral, a few plastic accessories, and call it a day.

North Carolina startup Aiken Labs wants to sell you a set of tiny boxes that you can stick on any body part or toy you own, each with a full inertial measurement package (three-axis accelerometer, magnetometer and gyroscope) inside.

Aiken Modular Motion Sensing Game Kits Look to Put You in Any Game
Game systems like the Wii, Playstation Move and Microsoft Xbox Kinect have certainly exploded on the gaming scene thanks in large part to the fact that players feel like they have better control over the actual game play. Of course the one drawback is that the only way you can control the game is with special controllers. Now Aiken Labs has come up with a Modular motion sensing game kit that allows gamers to stick their devices on anything they can think of and put those objects into the game. Aiken has put out tiny boxes that come with a full inertial measurement package that routs all their readings back to a base unit that also acts as a charging unit for the different devices.
