ABSTRACT
Abstract
Video games have evolved into a major entertainment industry and are popular among people of all ages. Recent advances in motion detection technology have enabled major video game developers to market motion tracking systems at a relatively low cost. The Video Game Creator allows the user to create a simple video game within minutes via a user-friendly interface. Using an infrared sensor and camera, the realized game can detect the motion of the player and react according to the game design, e.g., using one's hand movement to play a video ping pong game. In addition to its commercial potential, the Video Game Creator has tremendous education value as it provides a step-by-step guide on how a video game is created. A hands-on demonstration will be given.
