Happyloon was a project in our gaming theme. The core concept consisted of two stations placed in different parts of the city, competing against each other. When the user approches the station a smiley-face is shown on a display, the user is then supposed to mimic this smiley-face into a camera, the facial expression is then being processed with the help of face recognition technology. Based on the success a balloon on top of the station is being inflated and when the balloon pops a team are declared as winners.
One aspect of the game is the possibility to sabotage for the opposing team, by using the other teams station and deliberately failing to mimic the smiley air is being deflated from the balloon. A user can also gain a bonus by using both stations within a set timelimit.
