Squidball is a large-scale, real-time interactive video game that uses motion capture technology to create a unique and energetic gaming experience for large audience interaction.

In the world's largest calibrated motion capture volume, the game debuted on August 12th, 2004, with an audience of 4,000 people, at the Los Angeles Convention Center, as pre-show entertainment for the SIGGRAPH Electronic Theater.

Squidball is played with large silver balls - these are the input devices for the game. By throwing, batting and bouncing the squidballs throughout the playing field (in this case approx. 200X200X40 ft), the audience plays to eliminate the on-screen targets, which are represented on a giant 40-foot video screen that also displays scoring and timers.
