It is the FootPOWR pad. A gamers stands on it and moves feet and body which communicates with the PC controlling mouse and kayboard strokes needed in a casual game. This creates an "exergaming" experience within games that are conventionally played while seated. In your blog this was stated "that in order to play DDR at a high level you need to be able to rapidly process the visual arrow cues and translate these into a sequence of moves." I have observed similar benefits when one plays games like Bejeweled, Tetris, 3-D Logic, Bookworm Adventure while Footgaming. Could it be the translation of body movement, balance, eye-tracking and the resulting translation that improves memory and/or cognition?
