Matrecos (2012)



The traditional board games, sports, and others have taken a new form with the combination of interactivity, interfaces, and, somehow, with the everyday life. From generation to generation game concept took new definitions.
Thus, as part of Technology and Digital Art Master degree, at the University of Minho, we made a social game recasting – football table game – trying to reproduce the immersive effect that this traditional game deliver, by using Android devices who communicate with the virtual environment through OSC.
We call it “Matrecos”, like the portuguese slang when referring to this game.
