Streetpong lets pedestrians play Pong against each other
Two German design students created a concept for walkers to play against one another while waiting at a crosswalk.

(Credit: HAWK)Two students at the HAWK University in Germany have created an interesting concept to kill time and entertain pedestrians while waiting at a crosswalk. Instead of simply standing around waiting for the light to change, Sandro Engel and Holger Michel thought to have two walkers play each other in a game of Pong. Players compete on either of the two touch-screen controllers, and the game lasts as long as the light takes to change.
Unfortunately, Streetpong is only a concept, as the demonstration video was made using special effects and a green screen. While you won't be able to test your Pong skills any time soon, if ever, the idea is still a pretty cool one and worth checking out.
