The Sega Activator had a profound impact on gameplay immersion by introducing motion-based controls. Although it was ahead of its time, the hands-free experience allowed players to physically engage with the game, enhancing the sense of presence. This innovative accessory inspired future motion control systems, ultimately shaping immersive gaming experiences.
