Gigantic playable pinball game gets projected onto building for the lulz
We’re fairly certain you’re more than pleased with your modern Skyrim, Battlefield 3 or Zelda: Skyward Sword games, but do you remember a time when you enjoyed the simplicity of that classic pinball machine at the arcade or the pinball game on your windows XP operating system? Well if that wasn’t entertaining enough for you, perhaps this gigantic game of pinball projected onto a large building will be.
Called the Urban Flipper, this epic game of pinball was designed by Carol Martin and Thibaut Berbezier. Although this particular example was projected on the side of a theater in Lyon, France, the project is capable of turning any surface into an awesome game of pinball. The video was recorded during a demonstration of the game played during Lyon’s annual Fête des Lumières (Festival of Lights).
The project involves using 3D mapping technology along with a console near the projector that is equipped with buttons for playing the game. Although Urban Flipper certainly isn’t the first game to be projected on a large scale, we have to admit it looks pretty amazing on the facade of the Celestins theater in Lyon, as demonstrated in the video.
