Cutting Edge Games Competition - Public information seminar
6:30pm, Wednesday 22 March, Academy of Interactive Entertainment, Block E, Canberra Technology Park, Phillip Ave, Watson
Two of Canberra’s leading interactive players have announced a competition sure to intrigue the region’s amateur and professional game programmers and artists. Seeing Machines and the Academy of Interactive Entertainment (AIE) are hosting a competition to develop ideas into working examples of how new ‘eye toy’ type technology can be used to enhance interaction in games.
The Head-Tracking Game Interface Design competition aims to encourage new game interface control methods that incorporate Seeing Machines’ 6-degree-of-freedom video-based head tracking. The games which best use head movement will be seen by major game console developers and the overall winning team will also receive an XBOX 360.
The competition will be judged during the Canberra Games Festival, also held at AIE, in mid-July. Details about the competition will be provided at a public information seminar on Wednesday, 22 March.
