Gebt den Kindern das Kommando - Playground@Landscape

On 29th June 2012 from 2 p.m.
to 6 p.m. at the opening of the
Gutenbergplatz playground in
Wuppertal.
Sutu: the interactive sports wall.
The world is changing and that
affects the way children play. Sutu
keeps up with this new play world
and combines all the positive
aspects of gaming (excitement, competition,
progressing to higher levels)
with all the good aspects of outdoor
recreation (social development, healthy
exercise, neighbourhood involvement). Sutu
encourages both children and adults to play
actively outdoors instead of sitting in front of the
computer or TV.
Sutu is an interactive sports wall with 16 impactsensitive
panels and LED lights. The coloured
LED’s, a voice and motivating sounds constantly
give the player(s) feedback. The challenges
and encouragement in the numerous games
keep stimulating players to exert themselves
physically and push their limits. Gaining a
new high score involves a lot of hard work but
also a great deal of satisfaction. And it is even
better when you do it with a friend. Sutu is fun
to do and gives you plenty of exercise but at
the same time it is also a great way to improve
your technical skills.
Sutu: How does it work? The 16 Sutu panels are
impact-sensitive and individually measure the ball shots.
TRENDS
Clear, coloured LED’s give
feedback to the user about
how the games are going.
Parts of the panels light up if
they need to be hit, or colours
indicate which player’s turn it
is. When a player pushes the
button the Sutu gives a brief
game explanation.
Sutu in public space: Sutu has
been especially designed for outdoor
use in public spaces. Thus you create
a free outdoor play environment that
inspires people to go outside, to meet, to
play, to do sports and to have fun. wieder nach
draußen zu gehen. Especially in urban spaces the low
threshold to use the Sutu makes it very attractive for children
and adults. For it is free and easy to use as well as
to access. You just push the button and play! The Sutu
panels are made from 15 mm thick polycarbonate. A
strong and transparent material that is particularly
impact-resistant and can cope with large temperature
variations. It is therefore used in bullet-proof
“glass” and in the shields carried by riot police, for
example. The Sutu housing is made from galvanized
and powder-coated steel for optimum protection
against rust and vandalism. In fact, an extra strong
type of steel was even chosen for most of the welded
components. The Sutu frame is 3.25 metres long and 2.20
metres high.
