The boring wait to cross the road may be no more.

VIDEO: Playing pong at the traffic lights

In Hildesheim, Germany, an interactive game of pong has been installed at a street crossing, allowing pedestrians to play pong against someone waiting on the other side.

The idea came about two years ago by a trio of design students, and has finally become a reality.

They're now crowd-funding online to get more of these street games made and installed.
