Rock Band Karaoke Revolution Guitar Hero Dance Central The Beatles Frequency Amplitude

Race by land, air, or rail Camera-only input! Big world physics Avateered character (Dynamic orchestration) Released in 2004

Instancing and Culling Object Scripting Collision Detection Level Builder Physics NEW ENGINE TECH AI Background Loading Could reuse basic rendering and character animation and OS from KR Dynamic Camera Instancing and Culling

IMAGE PROCESSING Wrist bands Pattern Recognition Camera FOV Background subtraction Interframe differencing Pattern Recognition Adaptive search IMAGE PROCESSING Wrist bands Steering, tricks, acceleration/braking, jumps/ducks, grabbing targets, flying Lighting Conditions Background noise Camera FOV

PLAYER CONTROL Steering Fly Tricks Jump/Duck Recentering Grab Targets Gas/Brake/Slide Steering Tricks UI Fly PLAYER CONTROL Jump/Duck No Visual Feedback Grab Targets Recentering Hands off-screen

Artists aren’t designers Camera lag Slower than gamepad Overlapped race modes LEVEL DESIGN U cross-sections Artists aren’t designers Curvy not angled
