description Sega Activator Overview

The Sega Activator is a motion-sensing game controller released by Sega in 1993 for the Sega Genesis. It was an octagonal peripheral placed on the floor, with infrared sensors creating beams around its perimeter; breaking a beam with a hand, foot, or other body part sent a corresponding controller input. It was among the earliest commercial motion controllers for home consoles, but it was expensive for its time and its unreliable detection led to negative reviews.
