The Story
How it came together
The Snowball Kinect Game is a motion-tracked interactive experience built around a playful winter theme, where players use body movement to gather and throw virtual snowballs at on-screen targets.
Using Kinect's skeletal tracking, the game reads full-body gestures in real time, so players compete purely through movement, no controller in hand, making it accessible to all ages at events, malls, and seasonal activations.
The project was designed as a walk-up interactive attraction, quick to learn, fast to play, and built to draw a crowd.
