Пора уж создать игрового робота, а не просто выстреливающий аппарат.
PingPongPlus is a digitally enhanced version of the classic ping-pong game. It is played with ordinary, un-tethered paddles and balls, and features a «reactive table» that incorporates sensing, sound, and projection technologies. Projectors display patterns of light and shadow on the table; bouncing balls leave images of rippling water; and the rhythm of play drives accompanying music and visuals. In the process, this project explores new ways to couple athletic recreation and social interaction with engaging digital enhancements.

About: Imagine playing a game of ping pong in which the table can sense where you hit the ball. PingPongPlus detects ball movements and projects visualizations onto a ping pong table upon impact.
While you’re playing, you might see water ripples as the ball bounces, and hear music that reacts based on the speed of the ball. The creators behind PingPongPlus have since open-sourced the software so that anyone can create their own visualizations.
PingPongPlus doesn’t seem to have any use-cases beyond games, but it makes for an unforgettable table tennis experience.
