This looks like too much fun.  What footballer wouldn’t want to have a go at a game like this?

Play Guitar Hero by kicking soccer balls against a warehouse wall?  The scale of this takes video gaming to another level, and looks silly fun.  It would take a handful of good footballers and some practice to manage a decent score, but wouldn’t it be a blast to try?

The whole thing was hacked together using Arduino, open source game Frets on Fire ,  some piezo vibration sensors and a projector.  And paint and a warehouse.

Here’s some fun behind the scenes footage that explains how they set it up and all.  Putting things like this together must be a fun job.

Now I know what you’re thinking: There must be some way I can play soccer hooking my guitar cord up to the starting 11. I’m not sure that’s been sorted out just yet (the project awaits your ingenuity), but you’d think a Guitar Hero / EA Sports FIFA mix could be quite doable. The rock and roll definitely adds something.
