We created an augmented game of hopscotch at Eyebeam in New York to celebrate the launch of our TSPS software and the press announcement of our Plug-In-Play installation at the 2010 01SJ Biennial.

TSPS is an opensource Toolkit for Sensing People in Spaces developed in openFrameworks. In this installation, we used it to track people from an overhead camera, and then transmit their locations to a LAB-created hopscotch app (the projected imagery).

We had a few days in Tokyo to wander around and have fun. One of our first stops was to Wakamatsu electronics store in Akihabara which featured a big section of Arduino related goodness. Check out a video from the 4th floor..



Plus, no trip to Japan would be complete without some media of random things we saw..



And a visit to a famous street crossing…
