DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Red Bull Formula Face is a browser racing game with facial controls via webcam. The steering en details:
- Blinking = turboboost
- Smiling = activating collected specials (monster tires, glue, scissor…)
- Imitate shown grimaces = shoot photo and collect bonus (only if you imitate the facial expression correctly)
- Blinking = turboboost

- Imitate shown grimaces = shoot photo and collect bonus (only if you imitate the facial expression correctly)
- Tilting your head = steering left/right
This innovative steering was used for the first time worldwide in an online browser game. No special hardware is needed. The game has a couple of possibilities to individualize your avatar: upload your face to one out of five characters and choose a Nascar, Formula One or Rallye car. There are three different tracks to play. The game is closely tied into social networking, as you can post your highscore on Facebook, start friend challenges on Facebook and share the photos of you imitating grimaces. A Facebook-gameticker on the website is showing all gaming news from the user´s friend network. The whole game is made in a paperstyle design. Everything looks like handcrafted and you can even print out your paperfoldable avatar and have it on your desk.
