Kinect Powered Breakout Game Uses Entire Building as a Screen

Since its release, the Kinect has been repurposed and used for all kinds of things, many of them outside of the world of gaming. Now, a group called We Come In Peace has found yet another use for the Kinect: Using it to create a motion controlled game of Breakout that is projected on the side of an entire building. While it’s already impressive enough to be playing a game on the side of a building, there’s also some pretty sophisticated mapping going on. The “walls” the ball bounces off aren’t arbitrarily decided. If you look closely, you’ll see they are physical features on the building’s surface. Ball-and-brick games have never been this cool.
