Interactive game system and method of operation for same

An interactive game system for implementing an interactive game in a room having a wall and a floor, the interactive game system comprising:

• a motion sensing module including at least one motion sensor having a motion sensor field of view intersecting with an interactive surface extending substantially along a section of the wall of the room, the at least one motion sensor acquiring data relative to the motion of a real-world element within the motion sensor field of view;
• a control unit in data communication with the motion sensing module, the control unit comprising a memory and a processor and at least one of the motion sensing module and the control unit generating surface interaction data representative of a contact between the real-world element and the interactive surface from the acquired data relative to the motion of the real-world element within the motion sensor field of view, the control unit generating graphic instructions and lighting instructions based on the surface interaction data and in accordance with an implementation of the gameplay of the interactive game;
• a projection module in data communication with the control unit and receiving the graphic instructions therefrom, the graphic instructions representing graphics to be displayed, the projection module including a projector projecting the graphics on the interactive surface, in accordance with the graphic instructions received from the control unit;
• and
• a lighting module in data communication with the control unit and receiving lighting instructions therefrom, the lighting instructions representing lighting to be performed, the lighting module including a plurality of stage lighting instruments and performing illumination of a section of the floor of the room, in accordance with the lighting instruction received from the control unit.

A method for providing an interactive game in a room of a building, using an interactive game system, the method comprising the steps of:

• generating surface interaction data representative of a contact between a real-word element and an interactive surface defined along at least a portion of a wall of the room of the building;
• processing the surface interaction data in accordance with an implementation of a gameplay of the interactive game implemented using the interactive game system;
• generating graphic instructions relative to graphics to be projected on the interactive surface, based on the processed surface interaction data, and projecting the graphics on the interactive surface according to the graphic instructions;
• and
• generating lighting instructions based on the processed surface interaction data and performing lighting of a section of the room according to the lighting instructions, simultaneously with the projection of the graphics on the interactive surface.
