BOUNCY is an interactive game console that turns body gestures into digital play. Rolling, bouncing, squeezing, or hugging Bouncy controls in-game movement, jumping, attacking, and healing. Unlike hand-held devices, it introduces a tangible, full-body interface that combines entertainment, exercise, and emotional interaction, making play more immersive and physically engaging.
