About this event
You probably didn't realise that the area around Holloway Road was recently home to some extremely dangerous orange monsters. Thankfully, a courageous team of Games students headed out on Monday morning to collect hidden weapons and do battle, using their mobile phones. In fact, they were so successful that local cafe El Rincon offered them all a special brunch discount - and nearby residents were saved from a fate worse than death.
We were lucky to have such a capable cohort on our games degrees that year. In fact, the students were play-testing a new game from Project AR, called The Jack. Project AR CEO Tiziano Mosca and his colleague Priyank Dobariya visited our Augmented Toy Development class to brief the intrepid hunters, then followed them onto Holloway Road to watch what happened. Afterwards, the students gave Tiziano and Priyank some helpful feedback on their prototype game and asked lots of questions.
"Testing our game with Game Programming students from London Metropolitan University was a great experience for us!" Tiziano told us.
