ShapeQuest

Many people struggle with the perception of how simple lines can form 2D shapes. and, subsequently 3D shapes. This project aims to enable players of all ages to gain an understanding of how basic shapes combine to form everyday objects.

This can be helpful for understanding how simple 3D modeling works. ShapeQuest is an immersive and educational game designed to be played using Ars Electronica’s Deep Space environment. Players embark on a journey of discovery, using their own physical movement to uncover components of basic geometry projected onto the floor. Through collaborative efforts, players gradually reveal hidden dots, which are then transformed into lines and eventually simple 2D shapes. As players progress, they evolve these shapes into more complex 3D figures, creating recognizable items that are projected onto the wall. Each level has a story, with each segment of it being dedicated to uncovering shapes and to creating the necessary objects in order to move the story on.
