Virtual Reality

SCOPE – video

Using tangible traditional toys to enhance augmented reality in games and causual play.

SCOPE merges the basic characteristics of video games and real-life toys to improve existing games or create new ones. By attributing various virtual parameters commonly used in video games (power, life, magic, experience, attack, weapons, etc.) to tangible toys, it brings the toys to life. With this approach, it is possible to create all sorts of videogame concepts mixed with the real world. For example, a child’s bedroom could become a natural battleground for play.

We will be at the 4th international Conference on Designing Pleasurable Products and Interfaces that will be held in Compiègne, France, from 13rd to 16th of October 2009.

Meet us during the half day workshop “Design and Interactive Technologies”. It will be an opportunity to:

- review some projects developped by students during the online ‘Spime design‘ workshop.

- talk about design methodology, especially when designing for the internet of things, virtual worlds, synthetic realities, and globally, for the current and evolving environment we live in.

- formalize some scenarios around topics emerging during the workshop.

We hope to see you there !
