Sing
Pong: the technology
The
main hardware requirements for the development of Sing Pong include
a web camera, a USB external sound card, a projector, two wireless
microphones, and a PC. The programming tool used to develop the
game is Macromedia Director/Lingo. Two Xtras for
director, Fast Fourier Transform Xtra (FFT) and
TrackThemColors Pro Xtra (TTC), are used for auditory
analysis and computer vision respectively.
The projector is placed around five meters away
from the screen, and a web camera is placed around two meters above
the projector. Two mats are placed on the floor one meter in front
of the screen to define each performer’s zone. A round mat
is positioned between these two mats. Standing on this round mat
makes the player’s shadow appear in the middle of the screen
and initialises the game.
