Optical Dance Pad

The Optical Dance Pad is a contactless, wireless dance pad controller for video game systems. Using specialized optics and infrared emitters/receivers, the Optical Dance Pad can detect both temporal and spacial object placement in one or more segments surrounding a central area. This is an improvement over traditional dance pad controllers that require physical contact of the switches within the pad.
