Webcam Keepy-Uppy Worldcup game for The Netherlands released

Over the past couple days we’ve built a keepy-uppy game here at theFactor.e to celebrate the win of Holland in the Worldcup. Unfortunately it didn’t go our way and we came in second. So the game is now great to take your mind off the loss.

I used the great face recognition code Marilena. This awesome bit of AS3 code is based on some older work done in C: OpenCV. Once I knew where the face was I added a little bit of physics. Using 2d ball on ball collision I can make the ball bounce of your head in the right way. To see how these collisions work check this page.

Have fun playing the game. And for the non-Dutch speaking visitors just click ‘webcam’ to play with your webcam (duh) and ‘muis’ to play with your mouse. Play the theFactor.e Keepy Uppy game here.

There is a lot of cool open source stuff coming out this year in the Flash community. Earlier this year we saw the Flash Face Tracking and 2 months ago Andre Michelle showed how easy it was to control the pitch of a sound in Flash 10. I love all that stuff.

So I though, what can I build to have a little fun with all this open source loveliness. A webcam/mic driven pan flute of course!

Here is the source from this experiment.
