What is the light panel on the ground? To me it's like a conveyor belt/piece of paper slides to block some of the light?

edit: that's funny "two lines of code" then mentions the hypercard that detects the laser pointer




From the article:

> Players try to point a laser pointer at their opponent's socks while dodging their opponent's laser. Whenever they score a hit, the health meter closest to their opponent's play area fills up with blue light. Whoever gets their opponent's meter to fill up first wins.

The light on the ground is a piece of posterboard is that has graphics projection-mapped onto it to signify a person's "health" in the game. It would be cool if there were a physically-actuated health bar like you're describing, though!

The module that detected laser dots was like a page of code. It really wasn't complicated at all.


I like the idea though, I mean a smart home deal, making everyday boring objects cooler, assuming you also have Augmented reality.

I thought it was like a back light panel of a computer display pretty cool it's a projection if I read what you said right.

Yeah I wasn't 100% serious of what I said, it's like I don't know if this is a good analogy "yeah it's easy with the push of my foot, I can turn oil into 60 mph" with regard to a car.
