Jeff — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 02:11:50 +0000

Tune in as the most talented fingers from all over the world come together to compete in events ranging from sprinting to javelin to pole-vaulting, and ultimately celebrate what it means to be a finger, and a citizen of Earth.

The Finger Olympics started out as an idea tossed around at Eyebeam between Friedrich Kirschner and Zach Lieberman, and eventually turned into a playable computer vision project.

Built on the infrastructure developed by the ABL/UT project, DOTCOM is a game played in the Unreal Tournament environment and composed primarily of ABL non-player characters in the tradition of the interactive drama, Facade.

In the setting of a late nineties startup Internet company, the player must interact with these characters – coworkers – in order to make decisions that will influence the success of the company, as well as how well he or she comes out in the end when the company goes public – or goes bust.

In ChinASCII, the player takes on the role of Charles Bukowski, and must work to keep the balance between his love life, his work life, and his leisure time that led Bukowski to create the gritty poetry for which he is known. I created the engine and the “Love” game.

Project Ultra-Violence is an exploration of the use of video in a virtual 3D interactive space. The user finds herself in a burlesque theatre, where she can take control of a set of mannequins and guide them around the theatre. When the curtain goes up, the mannequins are transported to the stage, where the user views clips from “A Clockwork Orange” projected onto their bodies.
