    Games

    Think of street games, and images of hopscotch and kerb-ball spring to mind. Using large-scale light projections and interactive techniques, KMA are bringing a new type of street game to cities across Europe.

    My reservation is that it seems simply to project onto a plain surface. More innovative would be to use augmented reality techniques. In this version, real elements of the streetscape would be activated by interacting with sensors and projectors. In so doing, it would supplement the function of, say, a parkbench so that it became part of a winning move in a game, or a handrail as a defence.

    Link here to UK events, but see earlier post on building projections.
