Pong played with your hands in the air, projected onto a table so two players face each other across a glowing field. Hand tracking, smoky ball trails, a game that draws in strangers.

An augmented reality pong style game controlled by hand tracking, projected onto a horizontal surface so players face each other across the table.

Built in TouchDesigner with MediaPipe for hand detection and a Python core for game logic. A feedback network with noisy displacement creates a smoky trail effect on the ball.
