Five games for the Ars Electronica Center’s Deep Space, where moving around the room is the controller.
The Game Changer Suite explores cooperation and competition in a shared physical space. Developed at FH Upper Austria for the Ars Electronica Center, the games use Deep Space’s laser tracking to respond to players’ positions and movement.
Even choosing a game is a group action: participants stand in the area for the game they want to play. The suite contains five prototypes; my design and development contributions are listed below.
