A system may include a first wearable sensor in operable communication with a microcontroller. A system may include a second wearable sensor, wherein the microcontroller is configured to. A system may include receive a sensor signal from the first wearable sensor. A system may determine, based on the sensor signal, whether a collaborative interaction event occurred between the first wearable sensor and the second wearable sensor.

Systems, devices and methods using wearable sensors for touch-based collaborative digital gaming

Described herein are systems for collaborative interaction using wearable technology. An example system includes a wearable sensor configured to sense a collaborative interaction event, a microcontroller including a wireless transceiver, where the microcontroller is in operable communication with the wearable sensor, and where the microcontroller is configured to receive a sensor signal from the wearable sensor, and transmit, using the wireless transceiver, the sensor signal. The system also includes a computing device in operable communication with the microcontroller. The computing device includes a processor and a memory, the memory having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: receive the sensor signal from the microcontroller; analyze the sensor signal to detect the collaborative interaction event; and generate a control command in response to detecting the collaborative interaction event, where the control command is configured to manipulate an object within a gaming environment.
