Arnon sez, "Super Street Fire (Championship Edition) is the latest project at Site3, the same folks who created interactive fire installations like The Heart Machine and Flux & Fire (all viewable at site3.ca). This time, we're combining mind-activated flame-effects and power-glove control to let people live their fire-bending dreams! Electronics and controls have all been tested and are go, but we need help for the full-scale install, and are down to the last couple of days before our fundraising period ends and we lose the existing pledges! Pyrokinesis and immersive video-games! What could POSSIBLY go wrong?!'
Each participant wears a pair of gloves that reacts to specific gestures, and a headset that reads their brain activity. A punch or throwing motion will send a single wave of fire towards the other player's side; raising a hand in a blocking gesture will create a stationary pillar of fire that will block the oncoming wave; a consistent focused thought will send a rapid pattern of flame across the entire ring. The participants get to fight in the ring for one minute, while observers watch the patterns of colored fire they create. The playing field is a full circular ring where attacks can come from either side. Players can try to win by making simple moves, or looking for moves inspired by video games they played long ago...
