Hunter Gatherer
Get Feed- Description
-
Hunter Gatherer is one of the newest collaborative project between the Interactive Media Division (IMD) of the University of Southern California's (USC) School of Cinema Television in Los Angeles, and the Mixed Reality Lab (MXR) of Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore, with the working title "Hunter/Gatherer".
Hunter/Gatherer is a mixed reality game in which one set of players (heretofore known as "the Guides") remotely navigate the path of another set of players (heretofore known as "the Gatherers"), throughout the campus of the University of Southern California. Equipped with a variety of augmented reality devices, and dressed in an animal costume, the Gatherers are like human avatar for the Guides with whom they must cooperate in order to win the game. This game also incorporates unscripted social interaction as a growth and maintenance mechanic, requiring the Gatherers to constant solicit the involvement of non-players on campus in order for him/her to "stay alive".
