5th Ave Frogger: Real Time Frogger Is Pretty Impressive

One of the most famous arcade games of all time, Frogger, is 30 years old and what better way to celebrate than to make a real life version? 5th Avenue, known as one of the busiest streets in the world, has now become home to one sweet homage to the original game.

Tyler DeAngelo set out to create 5th Ave Frogger, a game similar to the 80’s classic; dodging cars and vehicles to get to the other side of the street to score points. The twist is that the game reflects real time traffic happening on the street. Through some amazing programming and a crapload of sensors, offering a completely new experience depending on the events happening in the real world. You can visit the official site for more information and behind the scenes footage as to the making of this machine.
