Greetings from Harajuku, Tokyo --- I'm out here working with my favorite crews HUSH and Red Paper Heart building and running their very awesome Nike+ Treadmill Game at Nike's Ugokidase Station pop-up.
The game is two specialized curved and user-powered treadmills connected to a Cinder-based app that pits two runners against one another in a 30-second dash. Game readout and Kinect-driven visualization are shown on a huge, curved LED wall in front of the players while high scores are charted on another massive LED display alongside.
This thing is fun and intense! Props to Hush and RPH on what is an immediate, competitive, and pitch-perfect execution. Props also to Nike Japan, Non-Grid, and Rhizomatiks for support, vision, and the other dope installations here at the event.
