Gamegrounds, a joint venture between Smooth Technology and Otherworld, reimagines classic carnival games as psychedelic, room-scale games for groups of two to six.
As technical lead we covered concept development, game design and programming, sensors and controls, large-scale LED mapping, screens and touchscreen interfaces, and the guest flow: onboarding, RFID wristbands and a live leaderboard.
