“Pump it Up”, “Guitar Hero”, et al.
Dance and instrument playing games have been a huge success and are a good example for our interactive applications.
It’s a game that uses a platform with 5 sensors (switches), each with a symbol. Sequences of symbols are displayed on the screen and the player has to step on them accordingly. The player can just step on these symbols or freestyle dance…

Guitar Hero uses the same concept applied to a guitar. The player holds a fake guitar with five colored buttons and it has to press the sequence displayed on screen.

Somos 3 alunos do mestrado multimédia, Universidade do Porto.
Nós desenvolvemos recentemente algo do género do “Pump it up” recorrendo à função computer vision do max/msp. É feita uma detecção de movimento em frente a uma webcam e, conforme a quantidade de movimento e o local onde este é controlado o som ou seja, body DJyng. Podem consultar o blog do projecto em actwithoutwords.wordpress.com. Querem uma demonstração?

vi uns miudos a jogar Pump it Up numa sala de jogos em Londres e é absolutamente incrível a velocidade de reacção que se consegue atingir, uns 4 ou 5 movimentos de pés por segundo.
