Square Pusher is quite similar to the traditional fun fair game known as Ring-the-Bell or Easy Striker . Like the traditional game it features a bell mounted high above the ground. Participants can throw a bouncy square across a touch screen. If they hit the top centre of the screen the bell will ring and they will earn a '100 point bonus'. When the square bounces off the bottom of the screen it triggers a 'banging' sound and vibrations, which are caused by an electromechanical hammer hidden underneath the screen.

The vibrations and sounds synchronized to the square's movements imply a materialization of the virtual image, and convey the illusion of the square being a heavy physical object.

Dimensions: 60cm (width) x 250cm (height) x 60cm (depth)
