Poppy Pop

Poppy Pop is a fun, interactive video game that uses a camera and color tracking to literally put a video feed of the player onto the screen, in the game, and their gestures control the action.

Poppy Pop brings the player into the game and their gestures control the action. Using a camera and color tracking, the setup is very simple, and the player quickly becomes acclimated to their window from which they send virtual bubbles to intersect with floating original characters such as Angry Toast, owl, zombie robot, fish, and Mr. Poppy Pop. Results from play-testing can be seen in the video at: http://vimeo.com/8022186. Players found the game to be fun, meditative, challenging and it's clear that Poppy Pop is a unique walk-up experience for people of all ages.
