Mionix turns to crowdfunding for smart gaming mouse

Posted on Thursday, December 04 2014 @ 17:08 CET by Thomas De Maesschalck
Mionix has launched a Kickstarter campaign to develop world's first smart gaming mouse. This mouse will track your body reactors and aims to provide deep insights into your gaming via a heart rate sensor and galvanic skin response sensors to measure your level of excitement and stress. When finished, the mouse is expected to retail for $129.
Quantified Gaming has the potential to change the way games are played, shared and broadcasted. Via built in sensors, the NAOS QG tracks heart rate, galvanic skin response and actions per minute. This data appears as a transparent overlay on-screen. Sports athletes gather and analyze data, we have the vision to do the same for gamers and help them to understand how their body reacts to their game.

TRACK, MONITOR, ANALYZE
TRACK. Always wondered why you are losing against this noob when a big stake is on the table? No longer wonder you must! Multiple sensors built into the mouse measure your physical stress during a game.

  • Track your stress level in real-time
  • Measure your body reactions
  • Keep track of changes and your goals
  • Select what data to track on the settings screen
  • Select what data to track on the settings screen

    MONITOR. Follow your transformation from Dr Jekyll to Mr Hyde live! The QG software will display your individual stress data in a transparent overlay during the game.

  • On-screen display while in game (customizable location)
  • Real-time acoustic/visual feedback (such as threshold warnings)
  • If your stress data is too high, take a break

    ANALYZE. Review the game on your own or with your teammates to understand when and why you are stressed. Make use of the data for efficient training and become a real gaming hero! Are you cool as a cucumber or a mental wreck when gaming?

  • Analyze peaks and identify patterns, see trends across games and over time
  • Time stamped peaks linked to snapshots for easy tracking
  • Works with 3rd party game recording software like NVIDIA ShadowPlay, Raptr, XSplit and more
  • Mionix Kickstarter
