At the core of Activate Games‘ superior performance lies its Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) architecture. Unlike generic processors, an FPGA is a hardware circuit that can be programmed and reprogrammed by the developer after manufacturing, offering unparalleled flexibility
. This key differentiator allows us to implement highly optimized, parallel processing architectures specifically designed for interactive floor applications. The result is an ultra-low latency response, crucial for creating a seamless and immersive experience where the system reacts instantaneously to user movements
. This architecture supports the real-time operation of complex vision-based body tracking software, Activate Games‘ enabling sophisticated interactions like virtual water ripples, object avoidance, and interactive game mechanics that feel immediate and natural
. Furthermore, the FPGA’s reconfigurability is its greatest strength. Without needing to alter the physical hardware or the PCB circuit board, the entire functionality of the floor can be updated via a software change
. This future-proofs the investment, allowing venues to add new games, change visual themes, and implement entirely new interaction models through simple over-the-air updates, Activate Games‘ dramatically reducing long-term costs and extending the product’s lifecycle far beyond that of fixed-function alternatives.
