[games_access] Active scanning

[Barrie Ellis]

I've seen it before as a game mechanic, but maybe not for menu use. If not 
implemented well, the user would need to be constantly concentrating, but I 
guess you could have a tap to start the process, doing nothing until you 
start.

Would be nice to see a video of it in action, to get a better idea of how 
innovative it is.
