At the alt.ctrl showcase at GDC 2018, Robin Baumgarten talks to Maker Project Lab about his new game concept, Wobble Garden.
Robin describes Wobble Garden as a hand-crafted arrangement of sensing springs combined with reactive lighting. Players wobble springs to interact with the installation and play games. It creates a unique visual and tactile experience, and will be scaleable to a several meter large installation.
You can learn more about Robin and Wobble Garden at http://wobblylabs.com/projects/wobblegarden
