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.
A panel discussion consisting of the artists who worked on the IUPUI game, Return of Aetheria. There will be questions to start the event, then the floor will be open to questions from the audience.
