Prototype 1: Tree Over Time
An experiment around the Theme of "Seasons" to challenge the users assertiveness about them through manipulation of time and movement, and by using these elements to induce progressive changes in mood. The player is firstly unsettled with an unusual approach to the controls and feedback.

Prototype 2: Block Contact
A multi-player experiment exploring the social opportunities arising from a minimalist game on a delimited stage coupling real objects with their counterpart in a virtual environment incorporating physics simulation. The real and virtual worlds are bridged using computer vision.
