Alone Together
Tiffany Y. Tang, Yongfu Wang · 2015
We present Alone Together, an interactive online ball playing environment augmented with three sets of Kinects. The play environment attempts to simplify the real world ball-passing exercise (or rehabilitation sessions) except that the players can be miles away from each other, and they interact without a physical ball. Kinects are used to map players' action into a virtual world including the passing of the virtual ball. A small-scale experiment shows inexperienced players' acceptance over such virtual setting compared to the physical ball-passing game within a short playing duration.
