Restore magic to the world of Aetheria! Use a downloadable app to complete adventures with shared results. Created by faculty and students.
Description:
One of the first results of the Gen Con/School of Informatics, Media Arts & Science Program Educational Partnership, created by 5 professors and 30 students working for the next 8 months to craft this experience. It's an epic quest to restore magic to the world, in which players use a smartphone app and computer kiosks - in addition to a live theater space and costumed actors. Once quests are completed, players will be able to see the results of their questing upon a large crystalline display in real time through the use of Video-Mapping projectors.
