A system for playing with walls, Space Invaders 2006 uses a person’s motions to control a video game projected on the facade of a building. Players move their bodies to control an aircraft and shoot down enemies before they descend and vanish off the facade. Dodging and jumping, the pedestrian engages in a game with the building.
Space Invaders 2006 is a collaborative project that emerged out of the Video / Motion on Buildings research group on public video games.
