Frank Lee, a professor at the University of Drexel, invented a game using skyscrapers. Lee saw the center in 2008 and started this concept, he said that he spent five years and developed the game. There was also a doubt that "Who will pay attention to the old game called Pong?" Even those who have never played, even though they have learned about girls from grandparents, they should know the existence of the game. Lee believed that he opened the Cira CenterBrandywine Realty TrustWhen I talked to Gerard Sweeney, CEO of the company, I got two responses and I was able to realize this project.


Each Cira Center LED light has a different IP address, and on the private networkPhilipsIt was controlled by the system of. So the development team led by Lee began working on the programming of this system. Since the light was able to turn on / off / change the color, we finally succeeded in making interactive images from still images.


Approximately 100 spectators gathered for the event and the event was successful, but for those who missed it,The game is supposed to be played on the wall again on April 24.
