Gameplay

Each game lasted 3 minutes and allowed players to attempt to hit 10 40mph pitches.

Details

The experience UX and every screen state was storyboarded individually. Interface and animation styleframes were then further defined in Photoshop.

Styleframes

Over 100 style frames were created, covering the interface and each animation.

To manage the players a custom registration app was also created.

Details

Each hit was tracked by a lidar camera which fed live data into a bespoke built software, which played a scoring sequence including one of 30 pre rendered animations.
