A US-based game design company SuperSuit has launched globally the world's first wearable platform 'SuperSuit' that incorporates gesture control technology with outdoor gaming. Interested consumers can now sign up for pre-orders, which will begin in September.

First launched at Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January, 'SuperSuit' reduces screen time, increases social interaction, encourages physical activities and supports non-violent gaming.

"Outdoor gaming is slowly losing its relevance owing to the shrinking outdoors in urban spaces and safety concerns in suburbs. We are determined to bring back gaming in its true avatar by amalgamating the concept of outdoor gaming with gesture-control technology," Rajat Dhariwal, Co-Founder and CEO of SuperSuit , said in a statement.

'SuperSuit' comprises two units - a vest and glove. The laser tags on the gaming gear works with gesture control technology.
