It seems like a fantastically cool concept and I absolutely love AR demos like this. Was kinect doing the head tracking for POV? Didn't know you could do that. Was there one projector or two? How'd you deal with the player obstructing the projector?

We only used 1 projector, pointed at 2 boxes at an angle.\r\rThe player obstructing the projector was the only thing we couldn't really fix with our setup. We know it's possible to do, but we'd need a better projector and a bigger room. Right now we just let the player walk in front of the beamer and give them a moment where they can't see anything.\r\rWe'll be writing up a post-mortem in the coming days, like our FB page if you want to be notified when that happens:\rhttps:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SassyBotStudio"},{"author_name":"IHackedDeath","author_uid":"24987","time":"Aug 27, 2013 @ 10:20am","epoch":1377598500,"text":"would love to rate and think it would do really well but please don't stop what your doing, continue on with this sort of type of game and developing is amazing idea"},{"author_name":"gre","author_uid":"18803","time":"Aug 27, 2013 @ 10:23am","epoch":1377598680,"text":"IMHO shame on these bad comments, your game is awesome, watch the video and you get why we can't really play it because it's a augmented-reality game :)\r\rI love the crazyness of the gameplay.\rVery funny audio too.\rAlso a technically awesome experiment.\r\rNext time please consider using really firecracker triggered by the game :-D"},{"author_name":"Aceria","author_uid":"15100","time":"Aug 27, 2013 @ 11:21am","epoch":1377602160,"text":"@IhackedDeath\rThank you for the encouragement. We knew that what we made is really difficult to judge by others without playing it. For us, Ludum Dare is about creating new games and finishing them. We will elaborate more on the setup in an upcoming post mortem.\r\r@gre\rI'm glad you understand why this can't be played by others. Without the augmentation hardware and reality environment the game won't be playable. Most of the time was spent on getting the technology set up and calibrated.

PLEASE READ !!!\r\nThis game cannot be played due to the hardware requirements. You need a Kinect & Beamer both set at a specific spot and the boxes need to be in the same position & size. Please watch the video to see how the technology works and how the game works. That's the best we can do for you at this point.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nBomb Defuse Simulator 2013 lets you defuse bombs without the potential mess. This game was created during the Ludum Dare 27 Jam lasting 72 hours. The theme of this jam was '10 seconds'. In Bomb Defuse Simulator 2013 you have 10 seconds to find the wire that leads to the bomb and cut it. Wait too long and the bomb explodes. Cut the right wire and the difficulty increases by adding another cable to the mess.\r\n\r\nWhat makes this game unique is that the player has to physically move around the bomb in order to find the right wire to cut. The technology for this installation is experimentally mashed together during the last 72 hours creating a pleasing result.
