Team “AweSeven” is creating engaging educational games in the SMALLab (Situated Multimedia Arts Learning Lab) environment for the Elizabeth Forward School District. We are aiming for games that will leave students in “Awe” of the SMALLab. Our focus is on math and vocabulary games for 3rd to 8th grade students. We will also create easy to use customization tools so teachers can customize the game content.
The technology integrates video projectors, 3D object tracking, and physical objects that interact with virtual worlds. It allows multiple players to simultaneously interact with each other and projected game elements in a real-time shared physical space to make learning fun and interactive.
