PONK
Experimental gaming installation which combines touchless and tangible gameplay.

From the authors:

“The game is in fact powered by Flash (AIR 3.2), using a USB Kinect Camera input for object and motion detection (no touch-screen is used). PONK creates a new digital experience by providing an interactive platform combining a 2D playground and 3D real, reactive elements. This air-hockey like game enables players to use the movements of their hands over the screen to control the ball and use reactive tangible objects to interact with the device, creating a highly responsive game. PONK started as experimental project in 2011.”

From MrSimonMorris:

“This is milestone 2 of the Kinect to AS3 Native extension I am creating. This time the rotations are applied to a rigged model. It should work with any rigged model as long as they are in a T pose with zeroed rotations.

I had to re-structure a lot of the joint orientation code from milestone 1 to achieve this as I needed finer control of the rotations to avoid twisting the mesh in an unnatural way. This is a step forward and I will most likely use this model to progress to making the full game.”
