idō (2015)

Collaborative Project

idō (the Japanese word for movement) is a therapeutic and meditative rhythm game intended primarily for the improvement of motor skills in neurodivergent people, as well as athletes, dancers, and everyone in between. The player controls an avatar via Kinect and uses her body to interact with symbols and shapes on screen, tapping and moving to the rhythm of the track playing in the background. The intention is to implement a level editor to allow an individual adjustment to the needs of the player (bpm, amount of gameplay elements etc.) and can thereby be used by a wide range of people.
