Gesture controlled fireball throwing

The Kinect-enhanced interactive Fire Wall made it’s debut at the Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) 2013 in Boston for Magic: The Gathering. Long lines formed throughout the event while visitors to the booth took turns throwing virtual fireballs at the symbolic Planeswalker logo of Magic: The Gathering. We used Kinect skeletal tracking combined with spatial sound effects, real time physics and explosive fire effects to create a simulation that was exciting and fun to play.
