Urban Games

More and more people live with devices that provide continuous access to the internet. Information is requested, textual and visual impressions are shared and followed in every moment - documenting the daily life of cities.

A response to this phenomena are the rise of urban games: typically multi-player games taking place on the streets of a city. Building on the need of sharing and a thirst for knowledge they exploit the new internet technologies at hand.

Narratives are created based on the position of the player or the changing of it, or in the case of linear narratives the game unfolds by information only to be retrieved at precise locations.

Urban games, apart from being impressive and entertaining also to serve a purpose: this stretches from the discovery of local history and hidden treasures of the town to the ideas of making daily human relationships better.

 

The Lab is focusing on current technologies in use, their implementation and adaptability to versatile cultural content. We also dedicate time to the study and integration of novelties already present on the market.

 

Within the game reseach process the Lab does:

  • reserach and game proposal
  • conceptual development
  • content development,
  • graphic desgin
  • possibly 3D solutions.
