Kinect Penalty
Shootout

We built the Kinect Penalty Shootout as a motion-tracked interactive football game where the player’s body is the controller. A depth camera tracks full-body movement in real time , step, plant, swing  and turns it into shot direction, height, and power. No wearables, no per-player setup. Walk up, kick, score.

The hard part was reading player intent cleanly in loud, crowded venues. We tuned the motion-tracking and shot detection to stay accurate with bystanders in frame and players rotating through fast, then paced the goalkeeper so goals and saves stay balanced  keeping the queue engaged either way. That reliability is what makes the game work for fan zones, events, and brand activations.

Every on-screen element supports custom branding: kits, ball, logos, stadium backdrop, and the live scoreboard all re-skin per client or sponsor. Rendering is optimized for large screens and projectors, with an attract loop and quick reset between turns to maximize plays per hour in high-footfall spaces.
