The interactive floor mode is the core mode that has been developed in Motioncube. For several years this was the basic way of working supported by the software.

Prerequisites

  • Before setting up an interactive floor, understand the fundamental principles of how Motioncube's camera-based interaction works.
  • The primary (and most natural) way to interact with games on the floor is through body movement.
  • Other ways of playing the games that you can use on the floor (some of them require additional accessories) are using the IR pens, using a remote-controlled vehicle, and controlling from mobile devices.

What do you need?

To prepare an interactive floor, you need: (a) a computer with Windows 10 or newer, (b) a depth camera or infrared camera (seeing only infrared light), (c) a projector or another display (e.g. LED display), displaying the image on the floor. For detailed equipment guidelines, see the next pages in the table of contents.
