Amplify.LA Bike Game

Interactive Bike Installation


We were asked by Amplify.la ( a startup accelerator in Venice CA) to create an interactive installation for their upcoming launch party. I have always loved the concept of physical, analog objects interacting with digital, so for the concept was to have an exercise bike that drove you through a digital world.

Using an Arduino microcontroller to detect each pedal of the bike, we then sent that info to touchdesigner which handled the creation of the game and the visuals. The Microsoft Kinect tracks the users leaning from side to side, giving us a way to navigate even when using a stationary exercise bike.
