One Person Ping-Pong

Web interactive
This work lets one person play ping-pong against themselves. Using body segmentation, a live camera feed cuts the player out from the background and duplicates the figure into two players on the left and right sides of the screen, turning a solo action into a playful two-sided match.

Interaction flow
The live camera first removes the background and transforms the player’s body into two small game-like characters positioned on the left and right sides of the screen.
Vertical hand movement controls each side independently: the left hand moves the left character up and down, and the right hand moves the right character up and down. The player’s body acts as the paddle that returns the ball, allowing a single person to play both sides of the ping-pong match at once.
