Introduction
POTION is a motion-controlled game system that allows two players to battle head-to-head or one player to compete against AI for ultimate ping pong glory. For the two-player setup, two video feeds from consumer digital cameras are each separately fed into a pair of slave DE2 boards. These inputs are primarily used to detect objects held in players' hands to represent paddles. See:

Our project is Air String, a synthesized string instrument that can be played in real time by waving fingers with bright green color tips in motion of stroking a string in front of a camcorder. Our implementation is based on Karplus Strong algorithm. See:

Our project is a real time cartoonifier. It bolds edges and reduces colors to make the video feed look like a cartoon. The colors can be reduced on a per channel basis from 3 bits per color all the way down to grayscale. Cartoonization is the act of modifying an image so it looks as if it were rendered by a computer or sketched by an artist. This includes bolding any edges or contours in the image and making colors brighter and more vibrant. In addition the amount of colors used in the image is reduced and smoothed out. In our implementation the number of possible colors is selectable by the user. See

In this project, we built a system that detects the position of fingers on a sheet of paper using a camera and play a sound depending on the position. The camera was used to detect the skin and thus track movement of the fingers on the paper. The output of the camera could be seen on the VGA screen. The keyboard for piano and drum was also displayed on the VGA screen. Depending on the hit position of the finger the appropriate sound would then be played using sound synthesis for piano and drum. Thus we integrated all to give us an "Air Piano and Drum".

The central idea behind this video game is to catch the delicious BBQ meat balls with the help of a BBQ stick. The more you catch the fatter you get and the more you score. The BBQ stick is controlled by the USB Mouse, which is connected to the USB port of the Altera DE2 Board. The BBQ stick moves left and right as the mouse moves. The length of the stick can be adjusted by pressing and releasing the left button of the mouse for different time intervals. User has to pick three identical meat balls in a row to score and erase the BBQ meat ball. User can get maximum of seven meat balls on the stick. One more meat ball will make him/her loose. We chose this project because the design of this video game involved lots of resources on the DE2 board from the implementation of USB Mouse interface to the implementation of a VGA controller. The idea is to use all these resources wisely to design a game that plays smoothly. And above all, the idea of designing a video game in hardware was just fascinating.

In this project, we connected a video camera to the FPGA and determined the location of the user's face in each frame by examining the color content of each pixel and determining which ones could represent human skin. The face's offset from the center of the camera's field of view, as well as its size, was then used to draw the appropriate projection.

In this project we turned a Altera Cyclone II FGPA into a simple video production unit with the help of a Sony Handycam and a PC for serial communication. The main focus of the project is the ability to provide a green screen effect, most commonly seen with weather news. We would extract the green regions of the video based on a threshold and display a background image, such as a weather map. This image is able to be transferred to the FPGA over RS-232 serial communication in as fast as 1 second for a black and white image. Other production effects including interfacing a PS/2 keyboard to write titles on top of the image, fade in and outs, and a reverse green screen method. The output of the produced video image is displayed on a VGA compatible monitor at 640x480 resolution.

Our project derives ideas from the classic breakout game. In the game, there is a layer of bricks located on the top of the screen, a moveable paddle on the bottom, and a ball travelling across the screen. The objective of the game is to use the paddle to bounce the ball back up every time it falls down so that eventually the ball will break all the bricks. In our version, however, the game can be controlled with hand motions. Specifically, the player can move his hand left, right, up, or down to control the paddle accordingly. In addition to this, the player is allowed to accelerate or decelerate the ball by moving his hand up or down, respectively.

he result of this project is an AVR powered robot that is completely controlled by the hardware and software running on the Cyclone II FPGA. Wireless data transfer is used to send commands to the robot, which result in it moving to a new location or sending out a sound for the FPGA to interpret. The robot is also able to collect data about its surroundings, which the FPGA is again able to analyze.

Rock Band 2 is a popular video game enjoyed by millions on their Xbox 360 console game systems. However, unlocking all of the available songs is a task that many players do not have time or patience for. In addition, many players wish they had talented players to achieve high scores with. We have designed a system that is able to beat Rock Band songs on any difficulty, playing up to four instruments at a time. Implemented on an FPGA, the design is capable of highly accurate, real-time results. Video is read directly from the Xbox without any external sensors mounted on the TV. Modifications were made to the Rock Band instruments that maintain their original functionality and wireless radios were used to allow users to play the game far away from the Xbox. Advanced detection algorithms allow this device to achieve near-perfect scores and compete with any human.

This project is a velocity sensitive hardware based piano synth. We simulated two strings per note using a Karplus Strong algorithm written in Verilog, and coupled it with a Casio electric piano keyboard fitted with custom switches to act as a user interface. On an Altera DE2 board we built a hardware Karplus-Strong synthesizer to simulate a piano key with two strings, along with a hardware timer. The timer was used to determine the key push's velocity, which in turn affected the volume level of the synthesized sound. The keyboard fed into the DE2 using the board's GPIO ports.
Three parallel processors sharing memory with each other and a VGA interface to compute the aggregation.

The Pyro Sand Game is itself only one of many variations of similar falling sand games. It includes 17 different drawable particle types, most of which can be categorized as either an immobile wall-like particle (such as wall, plant, or wax) that ignores both gravity and other forces, or a mobile sand-like particle (such as sand, water, or salt) that does experience a gravity force and can be pushed by other particles.
