Section 1216: A Space Oddity!
Section 1216: A Space Oddity is a game on an RFID based playground floor. The floor with incorporated RFID technique enables a computer system to keep track of all the users all the time, calculate walking speed and direction and give the users feedback about their position or warnings for collision with other users.
The concept of the playground consists of two parts, a more technical, functional part and a game to play on the system. With Section 1216 we chose not to develop a functional mobility aid-like application but to create a more fun-oriented gaming environment where visually impaired people can play around freely.
In the section Gameplay you can find a more detailed description of the game and in the Tech section the technique of how the floor worked is
explained.
