MR Auto Racing - Mixed Reality Game for Public Installation

Abstract: Mixed Reality Auto Racing is game for two to four players. The track is built from tangible objects (e. g. small cardboard houses) by the players and can be altered and rebuilt during the game.
The project focuses on experimenting with input and output possibilities of the increasingly invisible computer in a gaming context. In this case, development includes a robust interaction method (video tracking) and everyday hardware (joysticks, projector, and web cam). The mixture of real and virtual spaces through the close interconnection of tangible and projected objects in one place emerges as an interesting and thought-provoking concept.
