For the closing ceremony I wanted the whole audience to play with my Atari 2600 console. Therefore I have built an interface which allows me to simulate a joystick and paddles with my Arduino board. The directions are triggered by tracking the motion of the audience. Since I couldn't test any of this in advance I wrote an AIR application which allowed me to adjust the motion tracking zones and the sensitivity on the fly.

This year's motto was "Play" so for the closing ceremony I wanted the whole audience to play with my Atari 2600 console. Therefore I have built an interface which allows me to simulate a joystick and paddles with my Arduino board. The directions are triggered by tracking the motion of the audience. Since I couldn't test any of this in advance I wrote an AIR application which allowed me to adjust the motion tracking zones and the sensitivity on the fly.

At last, the wonder & excitement of Avatar is coming to the Atari 2600 video game system.

This little spoof was created using Anime Studio Debut 6 for the Mac.

Ingredients:

* Atari 2600 Light Sixxer 1978

* Atari 2600 Darth Vader 1980

* Some EEProms

* Accessories

This metal wood grain Atari 2600 was given to me by one of my relatives (if I can recall) a few years ago. It has the box, manual, 2 controllers, a set of paddle controllers, the game Combat, switch box, power supply and instruction booklet. I keep this one packed away and play the Atari 2600 games on the 7800.
