Arcade machines have evolved significantly over the years, incorporating advanced technologies like motion controls and gesture-based inputs to create immersive gaming experiences. These features allow players to interact with games using physical movements, making gameplay more engaging and intuitive.

Motion controls in arcade machines often rely on sensors such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, or infrared cameras to detect player movements. For example, racing games might use steering wheels with force feedback, while sports games might track swings or throws using motion-sensing technology.

Gesture-based inputs take this a step further by recognizing specific hand or body movements. Cameras or depth sensors, like those in Microsoft's Kinect, can map a player's gestures to in-game actions, enabling games like dancing or fighting to respond to real-world motions.

These innovations not only enhance player immersion but also attract a broader audience by making games more accessible and fun. As technology advances, we can expect even more sophisticated motion and gesture controls in future arcade machines.
