How does this Motion Tracking Game works:

The motion tracking detects every step and move of you and your opponent. Pong has been around since 1972 but it has never felt this intense and exciting. Because this time, you are the paddle and by moving around the court, you directly control what’s going on, but so does your opponent. Each player tries to shoot the ball to the others side. Win the Game by breaking your opponents guarded wall behind the paddle. Every hit breaks a brick of your opponent. The player who breaks the wall of the counterpart faster wins the game.

Power UPs:

Our new game “Pong” comes along with some funny Power-Ups to make the game even more exciting. You collect these power-ups by moving to the position where they would be on the court. The ball and paddles are fully driven by actual physics, so use your own momentum on the court to get the ball in game to neck-breaking speeds to beat your opponent. We put following Power Ups in the game to challenge you and your opponent more. Welcome to mixed reality gaming!

Big Paddle:

Double the size of your paddle and increase the chance to hit the ball back. To catch the black icon on the playfield you can either run to the area or simply use your arm to activate the Power-Ups.

Inverted Paddle:

Inverts the controls of your opponent’s paddle. When they move up, it moves down, when they move down, it moves up. How delightfully devilish.

Faded Paddle:

The Fading Power-Up in “Pong” will make the ball invisible for some seconds and make it more challenging for your opponent play the ball back.
