This video is just a preview. Since Blogspot doesn't support .swf files I had to compromise with this. The video is a walk-through of National Institute of Design, where I Study. It is an embedded video with options the user can click on. The video is in third person view with the guy in the video is the user. We tried designing it as a game. Through the video the user will get to choose what he/she wants to do For eg. the user has a choice of Pepsi, Slice or 7UP at the canteen. The user can click on the option & the guy in the video will buy that. It was a completely experimental thing we tried doing. Something we had never tried our hands on before.
This was part of a course 'Interactive Media' which was part of our 4th semester curriculum. It was a fun course since we got to know a lot about the interactive advertisements going on around the world. We saw a lot of creative advertisements, art displays & other kind of things that left you baffled & hungry for more. They called it the new way of getting attention! We were introduced to websites which let to were high on interactiveness. Also we played a lot. Games like 'The Settlers of Catan' had us hooked on to the course. People who hated going to class were seen attending it with much enthusiasm. Then we were introduced to a completely new experience with Nintendi Wii. It was recently launched then & not available in India, but thanks to our faculty, we got to play with it. This course was a complete break from the monotony of a students life.
Lastly we got to try our hands on web design using Adobe Flash software. It was pretty hardcore at the beginning but as we caught up, it became simpler by the minute. We also had a lot of guest faculties who introduced us to other parts of interactive media.
