Mario Karting
"Welcome, Welcome New [Motion]!"
Inspired by various aspects of childhood nostalgia, the final form of our project attempts to translate various movements into a race track akin to Rainbow Road from the Mario Kart series. Using the HTC Vive motion capture environment, our team was able to record various movements in real-time (dribbling a basketball, dancing, shooting a bow and arrow, and boxing). Through various computational processes – namely, lofting, arraying, and extrusion – we were able to parse the collected data and abstract it into a three-dimensional digital representation of a Mario Kart race track with the infamous star and power-up boxes.
