SLAM Volleyball

Helloworld Travel was looking for a fun and engaging activity for competitors to play during downtime between matches at the Australian Indoor Volleyball championships held at Coomera on the Gold Coast in December 2019.

As a major sponsor, Helloworld was looking for a game that could contain their logo and brand colours, record the total number of players over the championships, offered a competitive element that allowed players to compete against each other for a position on the Leader Board, and be completely autonomous. 

With this as our project scope, SLAM Volleyball was created. SLAM Volleyball is an interactive touchscreen game based on playing a game of Indoor Volleyball against a skilled opponent. Each real player is matched against a computer-generated opponent that servers volleyballs from all angles and speeds from every location across the court. The objective is to SLAM as many volleyballs back over the net at your computer-generated opponent as possible before your time is up. And the player with the highest score wins the game and bragging rights. 

Being completely autonomous SLAM Volleyball is a set and forget the game, meaning once it is installed it does not require staff to manage and operate. It also has a small footprint of 1.5 square meters, making it perfect for small spaces. It can be easily customised to include client logos and branding, has an in-game leader board, data capture and export functionality, and is suitable for all sizes of touchscreen monitors.
