Style Tracking Expressive Pad System
Style Tracking Expressive Pad System
S.T.E.P.S. is a rhythm arcade game system that blends fast-paced footwork with computer vision-based style scoring. With a 9-panel dance pad and AI pose detection, players are rewarded not just for accuracy but also for expressive flair like spins and poses. Think Dance Dance Revolution(DDR) and Pump It Up(PIU) meets AI style meter.
Our mission is to build a hybrid dance game cabinet combining the precision of DDR, the flair of PIU, and a pose-aware scoring system. We aim for arcade-level fun with embedded systems, custom hardware, and real-time feedback, all in a sleek, portable design.
