VIDEO GAME ORINIGALLY

THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE

EXPERIENCED WITH WII

NOW

HOW ABOUT THIS?

Experiencing a whole new interaction with highly cooperation and communication !

Super Co-Mario

SVA Interaction Design Project

SUPER CO-MARIO

The concept started with developing some different and interesting inputs base on what we have learned. There are bunch of controllers for video games. All of them are devoted to explore the connection and experience for user, but there are no really strong interaction between players physically. Therefore, we came out with the idea — cooperating. The main idea is team work: players gather up and take the responsible of different controllers, and deliver the order thorough physical cooperation and communication. Players will learn the spirit of team work and improve their tacit understanding to pass the game.

WiFi Clip (ESP8266)

Enable to physically interact with teammates, we need the equipments to be wireless, so we started to figure out how the wifi clip works, it was a hard and challenging process.

Sketches

Design the physical objects. There were different ways to present our project. We kept trying any possibilities and find a better way.

Failure

There were several problems we didn’t realize, such as coin batteries current was not enough to trigger the wifi, the connection became unstable after we sewed the wifi clips on the gloves. The design is changing to overcome the challenges. The gloves has been changed to enhance the connection and user experience.

Building the physical objects

We have 5 objects that had to be made by different ways. Laser cut, wooden, sewing, wiring…etc. We spent few days to get all the components work and test them. The stability and how to deal with power source were the biggest stopper during the process.

Testing

It was a really exciting time to see the components works well especially after all these efforts we have done. I’m proud of that we didn’t give up or change the concept because of all the difficulties, and finally we got there.

We had our classmates to try the Co-super Mario. All of them were pretty excited about this new experience, they even tried to invent the new interactive way to play the game which was one of our goal.

Documentation

After the presentation, we made a video to record and introduce Super Co-Mario. I think this is a very important step that most of us didn’t do for the previous project. We also got the chance to use and learne Premiere and After Effect due to the film making.
