5th Ave Frogger

We hacked a 1980's Frogger Arcade so the cars you dodge are really driving down 5th Ave while you play.

Demo of gameplay 90% implemented 


The frog hopping for the first time!


Early version of the game running on the frogger cabinet 


Pixel cars with tracking on the play field. You can see the tracking is still kinda flaky

Trying out blob tracking on day and night video. It’s shaky but getting better.


Tracking experiment on the cabinet monitor. 


More sophisticated foreground segmentation, and blob tracking, which tries to identify each moving blob as an individual car


Here’s the desk and computer with all its wires going into the back of the Frogger cabinet. Shows webcam video running on the original Frogger screen, after weeks of experimentation to get the video connection working.
