Game control system for converting physical efforts into a virtual gaming environment

A gaming pedal device for converting physical effort into a virtual gaming environment, the gaming pedal device comprises:

• a frame having a core body that includes a spindle compatible with standard axle threading configured to be detachably attached to an exercise-based cycle;
• a housing attached to the core body, the housing comprises a printed circuit board and a power source;
• and
• a plurality of motion sensors and a plurality of force sensors installed in said pedal for detecting the physical efforts, the plurality of sensors electronically linked to the printed circuit board for converting the physical efforts of a user into an input through an algorithm,
• wherein a pattern recognition algorithm is embedded in the printed circuit board to determine if the user is adjusting speed, direction, leaning, turning, and braking action based on the data from the plurality of motion sensors, the plurality of force sensors, and weight shifting patterns.

A method for controlling video game actions through an exercise-based cycle, the method steps comprising:

• a) detecting, by a plurality of motion sensors and a plurality of force sensors embedded in a pair of pedals, a physical effort of a user based on pedal rotation speed, direction, and applied force;
• b) analyzing, by a processing unit integrated within a printed circuit board provided within the pedals, the motion sensor, and the force sensor data to determine game input commands reflecting the user's physical effort and gestures;
• c) transmitting, via wireless communication, the game input commands from the gaming pedals to an external communication device running a gaming software;
• and
• d) adjusting, by the gaming software, game mechanics based on the received game input commands to provide a responsive gaming experience.
