MAD Ball

Four-player pong with real fruit.

The Museum of Arts and Design in NYC approached Bluecadet to build an interactive experience for their MAD Gala 2017. We built an interactive pong game where real fruit is the input to control the paddles. Additional fruit on the sides can be used by bystanders to disrupt the game with projectiles.

The app was built in Cinder and Arduino within two weeks, with iterative prototyping, body storming, and sketching being key to the process.
