Session Description
ARIS, an open-source tool that creates mobile games, tours, and interactive stories, uses GPS and QR codes to create media-rich experiences on mobile devices. Players are immersed in a virtual world of interactive characters, items, and media placed in physical space. Presenters will demonstrate two ARIS games: The first teaches Spanish through narrative; the second is a situated documentary that places students in the role of reporter during a riot in the late 60's. Conference participants are invited to join the ARIS design workshop and growing community of designers.
