Iglowe | Physical gaming in argumented reality


like Tetris you have to catch the falling construction blocks, and arrange them to build your igloo using your powerful iglowe "
“stack em tight, and survive the night"



Players glove is made of transparent plastic with blue LED for visual effect and IR LED for camera tracking
Large el supply on upper arm for Long-play.

Camera is equipped with visible light filter to prevent disturbing signals made by surrounding light and projection.

Game application tracks glove, and projects graphics using surround sound to enhance physical likeness. The input is only two-dimensional and has no vector possibilities. To flip a falling brick the player needs to move it into the opposite side of the igloo

Video is projected from the center above the igloo. The parabolic shape has the advantage of using only one projector, and still create a total surrounded argumented reality by scaling graphic to keep proportions

The igloo is made of thin semi transparent fabric with flexible support in the ground radius. The igloo uses air as structural support made from a small and cheap air-pump.

A lot of games is suitable, shooting games, sports, ambients etc.
