Virtual Penalty Shootout

The Interactive Virtual Penalty Shootout is a new creation designed to ignite genuine football excitement for both young and old. The Kinect device tracks the user’s body movements as the controller, while the goalkeeper is displayed on the projector/screen. When the player kicks the air, the Kinect camera system detects the movement and calculates the direction and force of the shot in real time. Our game system then activates the 3D-animated goalkeeper, who attempts to block the ball. The only real element in this Virtual Penalty Shootout is the player’s foot; everything else—the ball, the goal, and the goalkeeper—exists only virtually on the screen.
