Project Description
Play Out Loud is a no graphics, computer aided playground game for adults. It takes an outdated children’s game and gives it new life. By using computer controlled technology and motion tracking this project blurs the line between the digital and physical worlds. It attempts to take the gaming experience off of the couch and out into the real world, bringing people together without the barrier of a computer screen.
