SHAKE

The SHAKE SK6 is a small electronic device that senses movement, magnetic fields and electric fields and communicates these as signals wirelessly using BluetoothTM technology. The SK6 also includes a programmable vibrating motor which can be used to simulate a range of vibrotactile effects. The SK6 was designed mainly as a research development platform for the Human Computer Interaction (HCI) community affording them the ability to try out new interaction paradigms involving movement and haptic feedback, particularly in the mobile computing domain (phones, PDAs etc) by Stephen Hughes.

However the SK6 is highly versatile due to its ease of connectivity to virtually any other computing device. For example it could be used in any of the following ways:

As a gesture input device for a computing device such as a PDA, a phone or a PC

As an interface for an electronic musical instrument

As an gate analysis tool for injury or neurological rehabilitation

As a head tracking device for virtual / augmented reality systems

As a gaming controller
