Pinball Game
A body-controlled pinball game built in Unity, where force sensing resistors connected to a microcontroller let players use physical pressure to operate the flippers.
This project started with a question: what if pinball flippers responded to how hard you press, rather than just whether you press? Force sensing resistors (FSRs) connected to a microcontroller feed analog pressure data to Unity via serial, giving players a tactile, physical relationship with the game.
The hardware setup is deliberately minimal — a few sensors and some wire — keeping the focus on the interaction design rather than the physical build.
The project sits in the space between game development and interaction design, exploring how physical feedback loops change the feel of a digital game.
