FLIP THE SCRIPTS... LETS INTERACT!

Ok... Interaction?
This project is about attempting to get students to extend the perceptual boundaries of what interaction and technology can achieve.

Main contextual points from brief:
  • It is interactivity that separates the new from old
  • The ability to control our experiences
  • New forms of empowerment
  • We are merely operating within the bounds of constructed environments

My initial reaction towards this brief is to work with flash and see what types of interactive games and tutorials are avalaible and what is currently being delivered in the flash gaming world. So from the old school word games, I guess a bit like zelda but BASIC!! To modern Flash shoot em ups!!! POW!!!

This site has a motion detecting flash web game, but you need a webcam to play:

If you decide not just to look at flash games, but interactive gaming as whole, have a look at The Girlfriend Experience:

and for some interesting theoretical perspective on games:
