Reflection of past kinnernet content in the games room:

Haptic Jenga

We often measure games by how good they look and sound.

Ever played a game you can touch?

Jenga is no typical board game - in Jenga, the players’ success is based entirely on their ability to interpret high-precision tactile feedback.

In this video game adaptation, you play the game using a Haptic interface device - a device that actually transmits forces to your hand through an array of motors and joints.

Poke the tower to find a loose block. Carefully extract it, feeling the weight of the blocks above. If it all falls down, feel the interaction of 54 simulated blocks.

Play with gold blocks for a "Rich Man's Jenga" experience.

Extravagant Gaming Activities!

What can you show that no-one, no matter how many gaming shows he's seen, will watch jaw dropped?

iFighter

Arcade fighting game where kinnernet participants are the main characters.

Participants will pose about 20 positions for still camera shoots adding their own recorded

sound effects and battle cries, then will be pixelized into animation and will be integrated

into the fighting game engine.

each one will be able to have his own moves, style, cool stage name and wearing accessories.

After photo shooting participants will play themselves (or others) against others

and will see who is the strongest fighter of kinnernet!

** Please bring clothing, costumes and accessories you think might be cool

to create your very unique characters.
