Throwing artificial snowballs
|
SNØBALL is a physical game that mimics the ancient play of snowball throwing. The rapid use of fossil energy has the side effect that the traditional Norwegian winter with a lot of snow is a seldom experience for today's kids.
This snowball throwing substitute uses a modified web-cam to track a infra-red signal from a electronic "snowball." The snowball has a impact sensor. Each time the ball hits the wall, it triggers a projection of graphical snow-crystals and points. The snowball circuit that is wrapped in bubble-wrap has a white led to recreate a the cool winter glow of bright winter days. Nice video. The installation was a part of the interaction course REMEMBER WINTER at the Oslo School of Architecture and Design, December 2005 (Ti.mo's pictures + Jon Olav's images).
