🎮 Input Agnosticism

AeroBeat's "Secret Sauce" is its ability to normalize data from wildly different hardware into a standard viewport space.

Tier 1: Computer Vision (CV)

  • Tech: MediaPipe (Python on PC / Native Plugin on Mobile).
  • Experience: "Controller-Free." The athlete stands in front of a camera. The game tracks hands, arms, shoulders, and your head.
  • Pros: Zero cost, high accessibility.
  • Cons: Higher latency than VR, occlusion issues.

Tier 2: Dedicated Hardware

  • Tech: VR Controllers, JoyCons, Dance Pads
  • Experience: "Tactile." The athlete holds devices that provide rumble feedback and ultra-low latency tracking.
  • Pros: Precision, haptics, "Pro" feel.

Tier 3: Accessibility & Legacy

  • Experience: Enables play via specialized accessibility hardware, or used for testing charts when no other input is available.
