Hello and welcome to the Project Oasis blog! This will be your main source of information in regards to Project Oasis and its games.
This is our starting line-up:
Matt Bone - Programmer, Technical Director
Josh Mullis - Game Designer, Interface Designer
Sarah Wilson - Physical Computing Director
Brice Patterson - Art Director
So let me explain the project...
Oasis is a new platform that we think could change washing hands forever. The physical unit would be placed in a bathroom and consist of a screen/monitor behind the mirror, and a sensor of some kind in or around the sink to pick up hand motion.
The gaming side of things is very simple, as it needs to be. Games will be played and displayed behind the mirror as you wash your hands. You control the game by your hand motion in the sink. Simply put, the factors that matter most in playing a game are the intensity of your hand washing motion and the length of time you create that motion!
But let us not forget that this project sparked from one simple idea, "Wash your hands, save the princess." The idea was to think of a way to make people want to wash their hands and wash them right and we hope to accomplish this goal.
I will be blogging with more updates later, but in the meantime feel free to check out our other classmates' video game blogs! There are some really cool ideas here! Seeya soon!
