You've all heard about Pong by now, and it seems that over the years Pong has changed and it is now utilizing the power of modern technology. Finally we have the chance to play Pong without paddles.

PING! Augmented Pixel is a project by Niklas Roy; it combines the game of good old Pong, with augmented reality. According to the developer of this project, Niklas Roy, PING! Augmented Pixel is a sandbox game that relies on a single video input that takes a live feed from a video camera, and a video and audio out for connecting it to television.

The technology behind PING! Augmented Pixel is rather simple but the results are quite interesting. Instead of paddles to hit the while ball, you use any dark object, for example, you can use your hands, or any other object in your room to hit the ball back and forth.

PING! Augmented Pixel looks impressive, and the only flaw of it is the lack of scoreboard, but we might see that in near future.
