ThruGround is an augmented reality game installation. With this mighty machine you have to push, pull and get sweaty to find new life forms underneath you.
The goal of the game is to “scan” the floor and find new life forms you must help. Their world is collapsed and you need to rebuild their world. Find all the hidden gems and pick them up with the tools you got. Push, Push, Pump, Spin the Wheel…smoke, light…game action.

TECH
Thruground uses a modified game engine to pull it off. The magic happens when we combined electronics (Arduino, Webcam vision) with a powerful game engine like Unity3D.
