With SuperSuit you can start playing anywhere, right out of the box. You dont need a phone, computer, Wi-FI or Bluetooth connection - take your suits to a park, beach or even a desert and they will connect to each other.

SuperSuit is not from Earth. It's forged from technology light years away, from the planet Xelotor. Xelotor has a much advanced life form than humans. Primitive life on Xelotor resembled the humans, but soon the wise ones unlocked the secret to the Universe. They realized many eons ago that the Universe was created through a spontaneous Play between the atoms and that Play was the highest form of creative energy. Hence they used Play to preserve their wisdom and pass it on through generations. Everything on Xelotor is done through Play and instead of conquest, they seek balance & harmony.

However 9.34 billion years ago before the Earth was formed, a catastrophe tore Xelotor apart and threatened this very Balance!!! Most of the planets of its planetary system were destroyed. But Xelotor magically stayed suspended in the split state. You see the core of the planet is where the wise ones had hidden the mystical crystal Krato, source of the creation energy. The planet hung in this delicate balance. It got solar locked with Imba, which means one side always gets light and one side is always dark. Hence very different life forms evolved on either side and also made one side richer in resources. Hence started the great conflict which remains till date and threatens the delicate balance of Krato’s energy. At the edge of the Solar side & the Dark side, various Zoro clans thrive. Zoros are extremely notorious creatures, who change loyalty depending on which side is prospering!

SuperSuit is a living entity. The center of the SuperSuit, the soul gem, is made of parts from the Krato. It is powered by your life energy. By playing SuperSuit, you keep this energy alive. The fate of Xelotor now rests in your hands.


 



 

 

SuperSuit introduces a new genre of strategy games based on ‘Balance’, called the Xelotor Games, and upgrades the outdoor classics with technology, called the Earth Games. Enjoy 15 pre-loaded games and download more from the SuperSuit App.


 



 


 

Vision for a unifying networking standard for Gen Z toys.

 

SuperSuit uses new Zi-Fi™ technology to communicate suit to suit, so they work anywhere. Zi-Fi™ had to be created to make SuperSuit truly screenless. SuperSuit doesn't need a phone or PC or a WiFi / Bluetooth connection to be around. With Zi-Fi™ you can take these suits to a park / beach or even a desert and they'll start talking to each other right out of the box. We have been asked time and again why we have not just relied on existing protocols. We wrote a blog here. In short, WiFi is just too power hungry, ZigBee has a single point of failure, Bluetooth is connection oriented and ANT is geared towards periodic sensor reading transmissions. Zi-Fi™ emits permissible levels of radiation which is safe for use by children & adults. It is similar to that of Wi-Fi.

 

Natural Gesture Processing Technology for Embedded Gaming.

ENGaGE™ is the gesture engine that unleashes the magic behind all the "superpowers", from activating Force Fields to unleashing Shock Waves with a swish of your hands in superhero style! It is the first natural gesture processing technology for embedded gaming. It recognizes macro gestures done by players while moving across a 3D space, to trigger actions in a game environment and to control bots. ENGaGE’s Machine Learning subsystem learns complex new gestures, allowing SuperSuit game developers to program their own custom gestures.


Here’s a blog detailing the super tech behind SuperSuit.

 

 

A SuperSuit contains:

 



SuperVest is the power core of SuperSuit. It's designed in the form of a lightweight chest unit. It lights up, makes sound and has haptic feedback letting you Feeeel when you get Zapped! It slides perfectly over your shoulders and comes with adjustable straps and buckle, making it easy to wear and ensuring a perfect fit. As you keep playing, it’s machine learning engine adapts to your playing style. It communicates with the other suits, and its own SuperGlove & SuperBot using the proprietary Zi-Fi™ radio technology. As you put it on, don’t be surprised if your inner superhero comes out!

 



SuperGlove is the hand unit that goes over the forearm and closes over the fist. The triggers on it let you Zap and Zip other players. So you can Zap other players (take resources from them) as well as Zip (give resources to them). It has an inbuilt, advanced gesture engine powered by proprietary ENGaGE™ technology, that converts complex natural gestures into power-ups for your game. It is used to choose the game you want to play and displays vital scoring information on its screen during the game. Its IR blaster along with ambient light sensor works together to increase accuracy and Zapping range.

 



SuperBot is the sidekick to your superhero. It’s a detachable smart bot that fits into the SuperVest. It can act as an ally by sensing other players and Zapping at them, or it can be used to boost your defense or be the goal of the game. You can connect as many bots in a game as you want. It can also be used to practise and perfect your own game.

 


 







 



 



 


Various Play Sessions

 

 



 


We are a fiercely passionate team of 16, working relentlessly on making SuperSuit a reality for the last two years. Why did we take so long to launch on crowdfunding? We wanted to do ALL the testing that was needed and be sure this was going to be a reality before putting it in your hands. That is more than a thousand testing sessions, speaking & showcasing to experts at leading conferences like CES (Vegas), Mobile World Congress (Barcelona), INK (Goa), TechCrunch Disrupt (SF) and much more.

We are a diverse team with varied skills and backgrounds with an open culture. We just have two requirements that someone on the team must share -

1. Best at what you do in the World – This is Non-negotiable. You have to be absolutely world class at what you do. We don’t mean in terms of track record – you may have come from the best universities or unknown ones, but can you deliver? It's not easy to match pace with us.

2. Total belief in the Vision – You will be working slightly more than 24 hrs in a day, everyday, because that’s what it takes to make a dent in the universe. And unless you have complete faith in the vision for an active lifestyle, you won't be able to.

 

 

 

SuperSuit SDK is in the works and the developer community is going to be a big part of SuperSuit's future. However, it would be premature to give details about it now, till we have the product out. We will publish a blog on it soon, sharing the tools we have been building to create & test various games and interactions on SuperSuit.

About SuperSuit

 

Can you see the laser beams shown in the video? Won't people be disappointed when they find out you can't?

Far from being disappointed, people are wowed even more when they try out SuperSuit in person. It's such an experiential product that the video cannot do justice to the haptics you'll feel when getting zapped, the rush of doing the shock wave gesture & seeing all surrounding suits shut down and truly getting to experience what it'd be like to play a video game in real life! We've tested with thousands of people and put together a showreel capturing these emotions.

Although you can't physically see the laser beams, there is a laser pointer which shows you the target and you see the rest in your mind. In fact, you see much more when doing the gesture superpowers - it's not uncommon to see people imagining themselves unleashing a force ripple through their surroundings when doing the shock wave. We have merely tried to capture that in the video.

How many people can play SuperSuit at a time?

It depends on the game. SuperSuit does not have any limitations to that but we recommend up to 15 people for an optimal play experience.

What is SuperSuit’s range / How far can players Zap each other from?

The range depends on the environment and would range from 100-200 ft. (30-60m) depending on obstacles in the path. Zi-Fi also “hops” from player to player, so the range ends up extending to be much higher.

What if a player goes out of range while playing the game?

SuperSuit is powered by Zi-Fi™ which allows players to go in and out of play range without affecting the game. A suit is notified as soon as it is about to step out of range, and is put in an inactive state. The player may then move closer to the play area and is notified once he is back in range and is activated for play.

Whom do I contact, if SuperSuit has a problem/glitch/damage?

Just email hello@supersuit.io .

Is Zi-Fi safe in terms of radiation?

Yes. Zi-Fi emits permissible levels of radiation which are proven to be safe for use by children & adults. It is in the same range as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.

How do I choose my suit color?

You will get a form to personalize your suit shortly after the campaign.

Will SuperSuit fit me / What sizes does SuperSuit come in?

SuperSuit comes in a uni-body size and fits everyone from 7-year-olds to adults.

Does SuperSuit need a phone to play?

No, it does not need a phone to play. In fact, it works right out of the box without needing a phone, computer, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth around. A small display on the SuperGlove helps you choose the games and gives all the necessary information related to the game.

Do we need to install any batteries in SuperSuit?

No. SuperSuit comes with rechargeable Lithium ion batteries like your smartphones. They are good for more than 4 hours of active play. That means charging just twice a week even with daily use.

Does SuperSuit need a special charger?

SuperSuit uses standard USB connector (type micro-B) and ships with chargers so you don’t have to look around.

 

About Games & Gameplay

How do I add my friends to my game?

All your friends need to gather up together in your play area; when you select and start a game their suits get a notification to accept and join your game. They hit accept, and that’s it! A Game is setup by your SuperSuit and countdown starts.

Can I setup my profile on SuperSuit?

Yes. SuperSuit remembers you. Each time you play it updates your scores, gives you experience points and unlocks any superpowers as a result of it. It remembers your activity levels and games played. You can sync this data with your phone and compare scores with friends & use many more features.

How many games can I play on SuperSuit?

There is no limit to the number of games you can play. It comes with 15 pre-loaded games and allows you to download more games.

 

About the SuperSuit App

Is the information stored on the SuperSuit App secure?

The app uses Google Identity platform or Facebook login, allowing you complete control of your privacy.

I have an iPhone / Android. Do you have an app for it?

Yes for both.

What are the specs required for a phone to connect to SuperSuit using your app?

Any smartphone (Android and iOS) with BLE4.0 or upwards would be able to connect to SuperSuit using our app.

How do I download games?

Download the SuperSuit App on your phone and connect your suit with it (more than one suit can be connected & setup). You can choose the games you like in the App’s games section and click "Install on SuperSuit"! Just make sure your SuperSuit is switched on.

Can I manage multiple suits with one phone?

Yes. You can setup profiles of multiple suits on one phone. Whenever you try to put new upgrades or download games on the suit, it will let you choose the suit (or choose all at once).

Does it sync with my fitness devices?

SuperSuit is meant to make you active and is a great companion to your existing fitness devices such as Fitbit. Integration with various such devices is in the works and you will be notified when such an upgrade is available.

If I have a question whom do I contact?
