Sportpong is an innovative physical computer game that allows two or more people to play the classic game of pong with their feet.
The field is projected on the floor and the players control the game using reflectors attached to their feet. This control system is intuitive, naturalistic and very direct.

I think that’s too much. Why is everything turning digital. Seriously, I’d prefer to play regular ping pong/air hockey/soccer over this any day and anytime.
The only thing I see this being better is that you don’t need all the equipment to play those games using this technology.
Nice invention though.

hi, im the inventor of sportpong. and i particulary agree with you. the game is quite much a simulation of something that can be played in real. we still thinking about something that dont exist/isnt possible in an “analogue” way.
obviously this installation needs some heavy equipment, beamers/cameras mounting rig etc…
so thats no advantage over “analogue” games.
BUT poeple playing sportpong dont seem to have less fun as if theyre playing pong/air hockey/soccer. and ive seen quite a lot poeple playing.
so i guess the game seems to have its own quality despite being new and fancy.
