In the spirit of the Beijing Olympics, National Instruments featured this interactive LabVIEW demonstration at NIWeek 2008. Competitors could compete in a video game reminiscent of the original Konami Track & Field series. The game was programmed using NI LabVIEW graphical programming software and the control interface utilizes the classic Nintendo Power Pad, a mat with twelve pressure-sensors embedded between two layers of flexible plastic. Other competitions included a fencing match and a remote-control car race.
