Virtual football with Arcstream AV
UK - As football mania descends on the UK in advance of the World Cup, Arcstream AV is working with various clients to develop World Cup focussed interactive technologies, including a new virtual football game.

Neil Dickinson, managing director of Arcstream AV comments, "The World Cup means that people are looking to create fun promotions that engage clients, as well as the obligatory big screen in the office and pub. We have combined two of our most popular products, the interactive wall and floor to create a 'virtual penalty shoot out'. People are invited to kick the virtual football on the interactive floor, while a goalie projected on the wall dives for the ball."

The technology uses interactive cameras to monitor the accuracy and velocity of the kick and determine the player's skills. Dickinson adds, "This is a fun use of interactive technology and you can create interactive scoreboards or accompany the game with a big screen to watch the match in all its HD glory."
