Virtual Air Hockey
Virtual Air Hockey is a next generation motion game. It turns traditional air hockey into a multimedia arcade game. Without real puck, mallet or any other electronic device on hand, players could enjoy the game by just placing their hands over a specially designed table. The behaviors of mallet and puck then will be changed by giving different natural human gestures. Then two players can compete with each other with many funny signals, rather than traditional boring method. Computer Vision, Gesture Recognition and Multimedia, combine together make a revolution on the game industry. With this enhancement, players can experience an innovative, without-touching, natural and real motion game ˇ§Virtual Air Hockeyˇ¨.
