An older, but neat example of how a simple game like Pong can interact with a real environment. Reminds me of IBM bringing the Roland Garros tennis ball to Second Life.

De Pong Game is a recycling of the famous game Pong [Atari 1975-1977]. This new version has been built with Flash (Action Script) by Arjan Westerdiep for Recyclism™ (Benjamin Gaulon).

This project is exploring the concept of Augmented Reality by using and interacting with urban architecture or buildings as a background for the game. Thus the game is projected on a building and the limits of that building are becoming the limits of the game area. The ball projected on the building bounces along the limits of the walls.

The software is also using the windows as an obstacles for the game. So the ball is limited to frame of the building. As you touch the ball with the slider, its speed increases and because the ball bounces on all the obstacles of the architecture it becomes more and more difficult to play.
