AGI14 ForskarFredag

Students of Advanced Graphics and Interaction presented the drafts of their projects to an open audience as a partial examination in the course.

The four fully-functioning projects below are work-in-progress started on September 10 and presented on September 26, 2014.

	YA3, You Are a Tree, is an experience of creation through movement. A performer's body movements captured on a Microsoft Kinect map to the contortions of a growing tree for a meditative experience of creation and reflection.
	2Pacs is a complementary collaborative game where two players armed with wii motes combine their forces to control a deranged Pac-man across a labyrinthine landscape while the ghostly usual suspects give endless chase. Each player has their own controller and view of the game and, together, they embody 2Pac.
	In Space Survival, later called Thrust Yourself, a player embodies a space walker dying to get home... literally running out of oxygen. The player controls the space walker through a combination of Wii MotionPlus and nun-chuck and views space through the virtual reality of an Oculus Rift.
	PodRacer  is an immersive virtual reality game where the player controls a two-engine pod, as in Star Wars Episode 1, through two haptic controllers. Students used an Oculus Rift and two Novint Falcons.
