AR Pumpkin Smash

An AR Game created for a Halloween event at my old workplace. The game worked by having a depth sensor camera on top of a projector which rear projected a unity game onto a screen. Within unity I would read the distance of each pixel on the screen within a defined area (the pixels encompassing the screen). Then changes of depth on the screen would be read as input to the game. This was created using OpenCV's blob detection.

The game was a simple wave shooter where evil pumpkins would bounce across the screen in increasingly difficult waves. Students on the other side of the screen were given balls which they would throw at the screen. When they hit the screen it would push the material back and be read as input to the game. The game would 'magically' transform the ball into a projectile which would fire forward.
