ConGa is an interactive urban game that encourages vigorous movement. The protuberances of the organic concrete form are topped with points that react to touch and emit light and sound.
The basic team game involves gaining an advantage by lighting as many points as quickly as possible to 'your' colour. Players change the colour of the points by tapping them. The score is tracked via a mobile app coupled to the game. ConGa is also a programmable platform for generating light and sound effects. Under the polycarbonate dome are RGB led lighting, a speaker and a sensor that detects the player's touch. Linux-based software and wireless connectivity make the whole range of possible applications of the platform available.
