Hand-Controlled Coding Kits

Kano's Motion Sensor Kit Creates Gesture-Based Games and More

— August 16, 2017 — Life-Stages
The 'Motion Sensor Kit' is the newest addition to Kano's range of DIY computer kits for people of all ages.

This new learn-to-code kit offers more than 30 challenges that involve the building of games, musical instruments and more. As the name of the kit suggests, the finished projects may be controlled entirely by gestures, such as games of Pong that are operated by one's hands rather than a controller, as well as lighting systems that may be activated by someone walking into a room.

The Motion Sensor Kit is branded as Kano's "simplest, most affordable coding kit yet," which comes with basics like a USB cable to connect the sensor to one's computer, a suction cup, a motion sensor, a storybook with step-by-step instructions, as well as stickers for personalization.
Trend Themes
1. Gesture-based Coding - Opportunity for developing coding kits and applications that can be controlled entirely by gestures, offering a hands-free coding experience.
2. DIY Computer Kits - Growing market for DIY computer kits that provide engaging and educational coding experiences for people of all ages.
3. Interactive Learning - Increasing demand for interactive learning tools and kits that make coding and technology education more accessible and engaging.
Industry Implications
1. Edtech - EdTech companies can explore the development of interactive learning tools and coding kits to enhance technology education in classrooms and homes.
2. Gaming - Game developers can leverage gesture-based coding to create innovative and immersive gaming experiences that offer a new level of interactivity.
3. Iot (internet of Things) - Companies in the IoT industry can incorporate gesture-based coding into their products to enable control and interaction through motion sensors, opening up new possibilities for smart homes and connected devices.
