New Test Mock-ups, UPDATE
For this week, I start my modeling in rhino as well as some other 3D paper mock-ups.
This is how it looks when I stick 4 pieces of them together to create a cross shape 3D pendant. it appear as “happiness” in one angle and “wealth” from another.
However, my paper cutting is not refined as my scissors is too big for the Read more →
Arena Design and Concept
Arena is designed based on the concept of Modifiable Terrain and Machine Learning where the terrain “learns” the behaviour of the User and modify it’s surrounding to suit the scenario.
Reference Link: 3D printed flexible surface
Gameplay in these Arenas Include:
Capture the flag Tag Obstacle race / collecting points
