It’s goofy, but fun!
The system supports external Bots. That means you can connect anything from RC cars to the new age connected toys and control it. SuperSuit has released a SDK that allows developers to create new games for it.
The best thing? SuperSuit’s companion smartphone app allows the parents to monitor their children’s fitness data and track their location for safety purposes. This happens via Bluetooth – which is also used for downloading new titles, upgrade firmware and maintain the player profile and data.
