Project Details
- "This game uses an overhead camera to track user movements. The goal of the game is simple: have fun. There is no need to hold a physical object. The user's hand becomes a paddle that is used to hit the puck and defend the goals. When defender objects are placed on the table, the puck bounces off the defenders just as it bounces off the wall or the user's hand. A reset button is provided to set the score back to zero."
