Hey
It says the video no longer exists..??

That is super cool! As always wSatori well done!

Keep invading Barcelona with such great pieces of fun !

Is this a permanent exhibition ?

Que risa !

@EfeNDy It should work now

Thanks

It is not a permanent exhibition :( and it’s restricted to Red Bull music academy participants. However, we’ll do loads of videos to share online

Cheers!

This is simply amazing.  Nice work.  Did you use a mouse emulator and a preexisting game or did you build your own with multi-touch events?

Can’t wait to see more video,
Matt

@MattL
We’ve coded it all from scratch in AS3 (two sleepless nights )
It is multitouch, so you can kill as many space invaders as you want simultaneously.

(thanks again for your simulator works really smooth)

Cheers!

When I see a great idea, I usually find myself thinking: “how come I never thought about that?!”.

Looks so much fun! Ingenious. Well done.

Thanks for your words

We’ll be speaking at SHIFT Lisboa next week, will you be there?

I wish!

But I would have to fly all the way from Brazil…

hehe, thought you were from portugal

sorry

It looks fun!  A good game to play on a rainy-day recess.

Yeah, I figured that. No worries.

Just curious: where did you get that from? My accent? 

hi wSatori,

was wondering how you guys mounted the lasers and how many lasers u used on your llp setup?  think you could provide us with a pic of how u guys mounted the lasers?

That is awesome! What a great use of combining real world with multitouch. I can forsee many interactive games like this in the future. Nice work!
