jOG, forcing fatties to lose weight during a FPS

YouTube Preview Image
In the basic mode of operation, the user plays their game in the normal way but with one significant difference. jOG detects when the player takes a step and only allows movement in the game while the player is jogging on the spot. Direction and all the other functions are still controlled by the standard gamepad.

jOG can be used to enhance most existing video games that feature character movement on screen –Adventure, Shooters, Children’s games, Role-Playing Games, sports games. Significantly, in its basic mode jOG requires no changes to any game console or software to use. Players just plug in and go.

“Obesity is reaching epidemic proportions in the Western world, and many sedentary activities are being blamed, not least playing video games,” explains Brendan Ludden, Managing Director, New Concept Gaming. “jOG is a great way to banish those criticisms, and help gaming be both fun and healthy. We want to make video games good for you!”

    cool idea. I like it, but you may want to change the title since I don’t think there were any FPSs in that video.

    Hope the idea catches on, could be a cool edition to some games and even wii fit.

    You are aware that zero of the games show are First Person Shooters right? They show mainly 3rd person platformers. Learn your game genres please.

    The video was just a demo of the product, not related to the title!

    I’ve been playing games for 24 years, I’m quite aware of my genre’s. The title was based off a press release that they did.

    Title !== Video
