Funny Kitty Stick

What is Funny Kitty Stick, anyway?

Funny Kitty Stick aims to emulate the feeling of playing with a lovable kitten through the use of spacial tracking and haptic feedback. The player can move around with our cat stick controller, which will properly track both its current translational position as well as its rotational orientation.  

The Alt Control

When the in-game kitty grabs or paws at the dangling toy on the end of the stick, we trigger an electromagnet that latches onto the real-world toy, providing realistic and surprising haptic feedback.  The combination of 3D tracking and haptic feedback serve to dissolve the barrier between the player and the screen, allowing for a stronger connection to develop between the player and their adorable kitty.
