adidas Friends and Family 2025
Interactive Installation
An interactive event experience built for an adidas Friends & Family gathering, featuring two branded soccer games designed to engage participants and drive friendly competition. The experience combined TouchDesigner-driven visuals, real-time iPad data collection, and live LED leaderboards to create an engaging, game-like atmosphere on-site.
Summary
Developed two interactive soccer experiences, a pass accuracy game and a penalty shot game, each staffed by brand ambassadors who guided participants through gameplay. One ambassador managed the ball for each turn while the other used an iPad to log the participant's name and score. Every experience was paired with an LED screen showing live game progression and top scores for the event, giving participants a reason to keep coming back and try to beat the leaderboard. Over the course of the event, 137 participants played the pass accuracy game and 155 played the penalty shot game.
Solution
Designed and developed the full TouchDesigner experience and the web application powering the iPads. TouchDesigner drove the on-screen visuals and score tracking for both games, communicating with the iPads over a local wifi network using search parameters for updates. Each participant's name and points were recorded for every turn, allowing the system to calculate and display a running leaderboard of top scores for each game throughout the event.
