“…However, these methods risk inducing motion sickness or reducing immersion due to visuo-somatosensory mismatches [7,26]. As a response, alternative methods incorporating bodily movements for VR actions have emerged, providing a realistic visuo-somatosensory congruence for flying actions using full body motions, such as wing flapping-based control [31,32,42,60], body-leaning-based control [34,38,47,61], and Superman-style locomotion [39]. Some studies have even added the sensation of floating through additional hardware like cables [24,38], or air currents provided by propellers [40].…”

Figure 1: Giant Finger method employs enlarged fingers that replace the legs and become a part of the virtual body. (a) Users can fly and (b) kick a high target that exceeds the capabilities of human legs. It supports hyper movements that are difficult to perform with two legs while providing a congruent somatosensory experience with the two fingers. (c) Based on the research results, we present software and hardware demonstrations that can be integrated into Giant Finger for wider applications.

Novel input methods for game design often excite users, especially if they extend the way one interacts with the system. Electromyography (EMG) has the inherent potential to provide an intuitive - yet challenging - input channel for interactive systems. While this difficulty in control often limits the scope of applications for EMG in most systems, we argue that these qualities are especially relevant for games and playful interaction. The inherently challenging qualities of EMG input make the modality a prime candidate for designing body-centric playful experiences. Yet, we still need to understand its limitations to create engaging rather than frustrating experiences for users. In this work, we investigate EMG's potential to support playful interaction through exploratory studies, deriving feasible game interactions based on EMG's technical constraints, and study their application in game design. Based on our findings, we highlight design implications and pitfalls to avoid when creating EMG-based entertainment systems.
