Jina Lee – Looking Outwards 12

Before starting our final project, I was extremely worried. I was unsure what to do.  When I read the prompt for the final project, I knew I wanted to do something with the webcam. I really enjoyed the assignment where we played with the webcam to create texts that rained on to the screen. I was unsure if I wanted to create just a filter that can be used on webcam. While doing research, I decided that I wanted to use the webcam element and create a game. I found a game called ball strike. It uses the webcam to seem as if you are actually playing. It first senses for your body and then you start playing. The objective of the game is to “touch” as many balls as possible.

The second game that I look at was called Ball Collision Game. I thought this was interesting because you moved the orange ball with your eyes and create collisions with the blue balls. I think it is cool that both games are very interactive with the actual user. In the future, I would like to do something similar.
