By the reading of eletromyographic signals, the device capture user movements. These movements are treated by a methodology developed by LabTEVE that can recognize the gestures performed by the player.

- The Vegetable Garden: User must collect fruits that are positioned in opposite sides of the scenario, avoiding being hit by rolling stones. Wrist movements are used for movements (flexion, extension, ulnar deviation and radial deviation of wrist).
- The Barn: Corn cobs must be inserted in a grinder. By rotating their arm (supination and pronation movements), the player must follow the aperture shape of the grinder.
