Digital Tangible Interactive Immersive
Playground is an interactive art installation about enabling and encouraging the human act of play within public spaces. It captures your movements and replaces them with avatars in a simulated world inspired by the spaces we play in as children: the park, the arcade, the kitchen floor, and our own imaginations. Here you can stack blocks, touch the stars, and bury a friend in sand. You can also activate 1v1 games with special gestures.
With 18,900 LEDs, 2800 watts of power, 72 square meters of plastic baffles, 2 body tracking Kinect cameras, and thousands of hours of design programming, and fabrication, we brought Playground to life.
