Hit Me! is a two-player hyper-interactive, physical game that tests speed, agility and the ability to take good snapshots.
Utilizing wireless technology and incorporating the concept of the metagame, Hit Me! encourages face-to-face real-world interactions, not only by the players but also by the spectators.
The object of the game is to hit the opponent’s button on top of the head. Once a hit is made, the hitter’s camera takes a snapshot of the victim.
The hitter receives a point for the hit, and up to 2 additional points can be awarded by the Judge based on the quality of the snapshot. The snapshots, points and times are projected on a wall for spectators to observe.
Hit Me! 2011 also posts the photos from the games on Flickr once the game has been played.
This project is supported by Eyebeam Art & Technology Center.
