"Kick Ass Kung-Fu" is an immersive game installation that transforms computer gaming into a visual, physical performance like modern dance or sports. In "Kick Ass Kung-Fu", the only game instrument you need is your whole body. The game lets one experience Kung-Fu game action, by merging the real and the virtual with a perceptive user interface. The game takes place on a five meter cushioned mat suitable for martial arts and acrobatics training. It consists of software and a physical set-up customised for the space: including a computer, Webcam, one or two video projectors, floor and wall materials, as well as lighting.

Using custom computer vision technology, users are taken inside an artificial reality where the normal laws of physics no longer apply. The movements are exaggerated so one can easily dodge bullets by jumping five metres in the air, land behind an opponent and begin the next attack.

"Kick Ass Kung-Fu" introduces the era of computer games as spectator sports. It might revive the arcade after years of yielding to home entertainment.
