Snøball is a physical videogame that
uses a modified web-cam to track a infra-red signal from
a electronic "snowball". The ball has a impact
sensor that triggers when the ball hits the wall. The
web-cam is modified so that its very sensitive for infrared
light. A double layer of exposed color film is used to
prevent the camera from detecting visible light.
On impact the projector animates graphical snow-crystals
and points.
