Here again, a table football is causing a sensation at the Lépine competition! In 2015, it was a 2-in-1 table football that could transform into a designer table. The prototype presented for the 2016 edition promises to transform your home into a football stadium! To achieve this technological feat, Ark Systeme developed an innovative playing surface capable of coming to life when the ball touches it...
A foosball table designed like a giant touchscreen tablet
Usually, "playing field" refers to a surface made of wood, glass, or Gerflex, laid out like a soccer field.
But that was then! The future lies in the interactive and animated field!
Ark Systeme recently developed a unique prototype of a digital floor that could revolutionize foosball games. Just like a touchscreen tablet would when touched by a finger, this 3D field comes to life, reacts, moves, and evolves when the ball touches it. Every ball movement is detected, and a clever device traces it with a red marker.
Just like on a tablet, you can change the "wallpaper" to give a new dimension to the game: a "Milky Way"-style pitch for an interstellar match, or an underwater stadium populated by fans with gills! Is it connected via Wi-Fi? Oh yes!
A digital foosball table playable without bars!
Imagine: a foosball table2.0 playable with a game controller. While the gamble seems a bit risky, Ark Systeme firmly believes in it. And it must be said that the promise of unusual game modes this high-tech foosball table will offer has us curious: crazy mini-games consisting of avoiding getting crushed by the ball, the possibility of adding a third team... all at the same time as a classic game! Purists may not appreciate this handle-less style of play. However, gamers who love kickers will be delighted!
When will a compatible 3D playing surface be available on Bonzini foosball table or Roberto Sport?
