Sonic Body Pong
Published:
Sonic Body Pong is based on Atari’s classic video game Pong, and takes place in real space, with the players using their bodies as paddles. The ball is experienced by the players purely through spatialized sound piped to the players via headphones. Players hear a spatially accurate soundscape determined by both the orientation of their heads and their position on the court, and move based on the sound of the approaching ball.
Designed with David Hindman and Tikva Morowati.
