Motion Tracking Game
Interactive game using projection technology
Personal project developed for a holiday party
Project Overview
I developed a motion tracking game using a projector and my laptop webcam. The objective was to collect as many snowballs as possible before the timer ran out. Players compete for the highest score!
Process
I had no experience in interactives, and I wanted to do an activity for my annual holiday party. I quickly started messing around with my projector and thought of this idea. I used AI, Processing, and my previous coding knowledge to put together the final product.
It took multiple weeks of prototyping, where I had to individually test each element of the game over and over. I learned what makes these games work and ran into every problem along the way.
Outcomes
I learned how to create a real-world interactive game using AI as a tool. I learned how to debug and problem-solve each time I ran into an issue. I successfully added a fun new activity for people to play at the party!
