An ‘in-between’ interrelation approach across disciplines and dimensions. Written in a dissertaion format with varied research styles, rhymes and word play.
Experiencing the rules of the game, what we are ruled by, the faults and the virtues, an understanding of perception that varies across times and spaces, in all times and spaces.
How do we go about designing factories of multi-sensory experiences? Better, how do we go about designing our outer experience when we barely understand our inner experience?
How do we track our behavioral patterns of play, navigate grounds, instruments and take actions lovingly and responsibly? How does that map to user and player behavior in +2.5D experiences, platforms, hard and softwares, etc. Today we are tracking fast-growing and progressive data metrics, somewhat aimlessly, yet be bucketed, organized and analyzed through.
Well, a factory it’s not. That thinking will lead us to the well. And just like all hierarchies of games, they don’t necessarily map in sensical ways. A personalized boutique experience it is— frame-worked for any reality ever, including the digital '3D,' (it’'s just a replica) right by design and by humanity. Even more so, what happens when we start tapping into our imagination?
