The projection system projects images onto the surface of the trampoline. The system determines when and if the user jumps onto the projected image. During the game, the player jumps to and onto the projected image. If the player does not jump onto the projected image within a defined period of time, the player is penalized and/or the game ends. If the player does jump onto the projected image within the defined period of time, the user is rewarded. The projected image is removed and a new image is projected onto another area of the trampoline. The player then jumps to and onto the newly projected image within a certain variable period of time. | 11-26-2015 |
