Star-Force: A Playful Implementation of the Jedi-force

We introduce Star-force, which is a playful implementation of sci-fi concept The Force, as envisioned in the Star Wars saga. This is achieved via a battle environment instantiated in mixed reality using a video see-through head-mounted display. The "weapons", i.e., the Light-Sabers, Blasters are based on the ESP8266 microcontroller and tracked using makers and external cameras. Through their headsets, users see the virtual Light-Sabers as beams of light emanating from their handheld controllers. Depending on the actions, such as contact between two Light Sabers, we trigger force-feedback on the player's hands via electrical muscle stimulation. This emulates the sensation of the two powerful beams of light hitting each other.
