Tabletop Tangible Narratives
| The digital media arts and entertainment space is seeing an increasing interest in emerging platforms, such as interactive digital tabletops that can track multiple fingers and tagged objects. In this project-based course, students develop the conceptual, aesthetic and technical basics of creating interactive narrative applications for emerging tangible display and interaction platforms. The course will provide an informal, hands-on and team-based learning environment, in which students will develop digital storytelling applications for delivery on a novel tangible tabletop platform being developed in Georgia Tech's Synaesthetic Media Lab. The storytelling applications created for the table will be exhibited at the end of the semester. |
