Concept

Using the cellphone as the portable remote controller.

  1. Optional use of the mobile phone enables installations to be interactive without the need to provide the user with a remote controller or direct interaction with the screen.
  2. Why? Some installations are meant not to be touched and therefore preventing damage or physical upkeep.
  3. Technique can be used to be displayed during a store’s closing hours and provide further interaction even during a store’s inactivity.
  4. Technique can also be used to be exposed to an audience through a projector and still provide interaction.

Interactive Narrative (Entertainment / Arts )

  1. Animation with user enabled interaction.
  2. Timeline animation leads to “choose your path” scenes. User has a choice for a character’s path.
  3. Cartoon and Humor style will be used to promote a friendly, positive and memorable experience.

Purpose

  1. To teach and communicate the user through an interactive-narrative game.
  2. Through animated cartoons and interaction a positive message will be taught and transmitted
