Virtual Whiteboard Pong

This is pretty cool: Behold the WhiteBoard PONG by 3D software development company ENESS of Australia. It’s a regular whiteboard and regular whiteboard markers, coupled with a computer that can sense and recognize black shapes to compute how the virtual ball should behave.

    Soo…first person to run out of marker ink wins? That game looked like it was never going to end.

    Would’ve been a lot more interesting if they showed the ball speed up with each successive hit of the paddle/line.

    Pretty cool. Wonder if we could do arcs or contain it within a circle etc.

    Yeah it’s a really cool idea. But if the light is always as fast as this, nobody could really win, and this will be an endless game. So some changes have to be done, then it would be a really cool game.
