Designing a Cooperative Mixed-Reality Game About Reconciliation
Kyoung Lee Swearingen, Scott Swearingen · 2018
`Wall Mounted Level' is a cooperative mixed-reality game that leverages multimodal interactions to support its narrative of `reconciliation'. In it, players control their digitally projected characters and navigate them across a hand-drawn physical sculpture as they collaborate towards a shared goal: finding one another. The digital and physical characteristics of the game are further reflected in the ways in which players interact with the software and one another through `touch'. This paper discusses the design choices we made in creating the varying modes of player collaboration through both digital and physical engagement.
