The Goethe-Institut Johannesburg, in cooperation with augmented reality specialist Something Else Design Agency, has created a brand new card game which not only celebrates South African freestyle football culture, but also brings it alive through using the latest Augmented Reality technology. “Diski Skills”is set in a South African street football scenario showing popular tricks such as the Shibobo, Kasi Flava or Scara Turn to only name a few. Each trick is rated in categories like attack value, defence value and swag value - this allows players to challenge each other, with the ultimate goal of collecting all cards and being the king of diski!

Through Augmented Reality technology, the cards come alive: Move your cellphone over a card and watch as the trick magically appears on your screen in a slow motion video. Therefore, an educational value is added as players can study the tricks and learn more about the idea behind it.

The Diski Skills AR Card Game aims to promote South African street and freestyle football. In line with this, the freestyle competition hopes to unearthen new freestyling talents from Gauteng and increase the visibility of freestyle and diski football in South Africa.
