KINETIX Game

Sam Pierce Lolla · March 2010

KINETIX is a colorful, fast-paced casual game that uses only a webcam for input. A computer vision algorithm detects motion and alternatively rewards and punishes players for moving.  Originally conceptualized as a children's toy to encourage physical activity, the game's simplicity allows it to be be played by anyone, either alone, competitively, or collaboratively--with any number of players.

This version was built in Processing, with help from the OpenCV libraryAndy Best's introduction to the same, The Very Best (no relation), and WhoopAss.
