"But if (and oh what a big if) we could conceive in some warm little pond with all sorts of ammonia and phosphoric salts, light, heat, electricity &c. present, that a protein compound was chemically formed, ready to undergo still more complex changes, at the present day such matter would be instantly devoured, or absorbed, which would not have been the case before living creatures were formed."
—— From a letter written by Charles Darwin to Joseph Hooker in 1871 which included some of his speculations on the spontaneous generation of life in some 'warm little pond'.
When you walk into any of the illuminated sensor zones, your presence will be detected by a motion-sensing camera and a mysterious character will be projected onto the screen as your avatar. Maximum two players for each sensor zone. Once you leave the zone and POOF!, your avatar will also vanish.
By moving your bodies and walking around, you can try to interact with the game environment, triggering mysterious scientific phenomena!
During the interactive experience, you will be turned into three unique creatures in the game, adapting to different environments. As you pass from the underground cave to the seabed to the grassland, sky and greater universe, your appearance will gradually change.
In the deep, humid and dark underground cave, special clusters of mushrooms are growing. They all emit mysterious fluorescent light. If you get too close or touch these colorful fluorescent mushrooms, they will make you glow too!
Arriving in the colorful ocean, your body has adapted for swimming. Wave your arms up and down and see what differences occur when you wave at different speeds. Let's explore what will happen when you encounter different creatures!
When you arrive at the lively lush grassland, your body will transform into a fruit shape. Walk around to meet the different plants thriving here. You can kick any fallen seeds to where you'd like them to grow into trees.
Ever-changing clouds are floating in the sky. Wave your arms and move sideways, and you'll find yourself moving freely among the clouds! Try to touch the clouds, they generate lightning, snow, rain, and even hailstones!
In this mysterious universe, you'll transform into a planet, floating among the stars. Wave your arms to change how high you float, and move around to touch other stars, asteroids and star clouds. Listen to the special noises they make! Join in to make a unique orchestral sound.
Projecting and testing the actual UI for iteration allows us to ensure the correct production direction before we get into the installation and fine-tuning testing process.
