Project Summary
Building Virtual Worlds (BVW) is a project course where interdisciplinary teams build immersive interactive virtual worlds. Teams work intensively together for two weeks, with the teams changing with each new project. Over the semester, we worked on five projects, culminating in a public demonstration to a crowd of over 500, including students and faculty from Carnegie Mellon, as well as invited entertainment industry leaders.
Game Play
Not only was the world we created selected for the final public demonstration, but a video of our world made it to the front page of Digg, and was also covered in a Nintendo Power article (March 2007). This game world is about a boy hired to test a new virtual reality system based on the precedent-setting Nintendo gaming system, and includes a retrospective review of many of the Nintendo successes.
