Treasure on the Line
Rapid Iteration Jam-O-Drum Game
Texture Artist and Co-designer
Each boat is manned by a sailor and a grappler. Players work in teams to pull
treasure out of the water...or off the other boat.
Design Notes: Developed in Building Virtual Worlds class for a naive
user assignment, and designed to be intuitive and readable. The island in the
center of the board creates opportunity for strategy--it serves as a protective
wall, so it is easier for boats to steal and flee, and safer for a boat to head
farther away from port to grapple a higher value item.
The Dark Knight
Texture Artist and Co-designer
A baby dragon is afraid to sleep, because he is afraid of the Dark Knight and his
minions. Guests help him use his fiery breath to light torches and make the shadow
humans disappear.
Design Notes: Help Someone Assignment, Building Virtual Worlds. Story experience
designed a head mounted display (HMD) for the user to experience the what it's like to
be a dragon. The input device for fire breathing is a temperature sensing phidget hidden
in a dragon mask. The user blows hot onto the sensor to exhale a plume of fire.
