BATTERY-FREE GAME BOY: Sustainable Interactive Devices

摘要

This article presented the motivation and inner workings of a battery-free gaming console, and the first full system emulation on intermittent power with ENGAGE. We demonstrate we can port existing battery-based gaming platforms - such as 8-bit Nintendo Game Boy in our case - to the battery-free domain. With this platform, we have shown that deeply interactive devices, like gaming platforms, are possible to create without batteries, and in spite of frequent power failures. ENGAGE represents a bright future of deeply interactive, maintenance-and battery-free devices.
