TOYVision is a software toolkit for the easy prototyping of Hybrid Videogames, mixing physical and virtual elements. Designers and developers of videogames, can use ToyVision to develop computer augmented hybrid games, based on manipulation of physical playing pieces and body gestures. ToyVision, supports Reactivision to comunicate with visual based Tabletop devices /http://nuigroup.com/go/lite), and Kinect sensor to track players movements ToyVision enables passive (carried out by the player) and active (carried out by the computer through the Arduino microcontroller) Any programming language can be used to develop games with toyvision, provided by implementing a TCP-IP socket. Moreover, Proccesing API and finished samples are already provided in this project. ToyVision is based on the Reactivision framework. More info: www.toyvision.org
