Project case study
Gate to China: a runner you control with your body
Red gates and a running character on a large screen: the visitor dodges and jumps with their whole body, and the character repeats every move.
- Client
- Amur Region pavilion
- Venue
- Eastern Economic Forum 2025, Vladivostok
- Completed
The challenge
Draw passers-by into the pavilion with a game that is clear from a distance and needs no controller.
What Awake! delivered
Kinect tracks the player’s skeleton, and the runner turns body leans and jumps into the character’s moves. The game is short and replayable, so a queue moves quickly.
Outcome
We show this game first when people ask us what a game zone looks like.
Technologies and methods
Unity, Kinect skeletal tracking, large screen
