Project RiG

In our course "We Create Identity" we got the task to create an interactive video.
For those who do not know what an interactive video is, see one of the examples on www.ximpel.net.
At first we had to decide about which theme we would like to do the video.
There were some given themes:

1. urban -- (un)safety in urban environment(s)
2. climate -- climate change and energy consumption
3. fitness-- (social network) support for sport and fitness
4. media -- prevent(ion) of media and information overload
5. scenario(s) -- emergency / rescue in public area(s)
6. communication -- exchange(s) in private/public space(s) 

... ,but we could also use our own themes.

I was especially interested in the given theme fitness and my own theme education.
Because of that, I searched for classmates having similar interests.
Now my groupmates are Tobias , Ernst , Cecile and Milena.

Well then we started to think about many things how to reach our goals which were create something that improves the fitness of people and their educational knowledge.
I will only tell you in short what it is we figured out finally, you can read more on our homepage.
So we decided to create a game called RiG (Reality interacts Gaming). This game should work on our whole Campus which is very big. It works like following, you need a smartphone which would be offered by the university. The RiG game would be available for these smartphones, of course for free. The game's goal is to get as many points as possible. You can get points by going to your courses. To make sure you really were there you would have to scan a bar code in the classroom which changes every course. Another way to get points is to do sports courses or just do sports on your own which will be recognized by the integrated GPS function. You can always compare your point status with other's point statuses online. In the end of the year the best students get some prices like the X-Tra card for free or some sport clothes or things like that.
Actually that is the main thing about the RiG application. But our interactive video is not that game, it is a story about a fat lazy student who sees the game in an advertisement and has the chance to change his life.
Hopefully I can present you some material soon.

At last I would like to tell you what is my part in this whole project.
Well since we are planning everything together, like the storyline, the video scenes, the texts and so on there is only a few things you do alone - present your group - make changes out of your member's advices...
Those are:
- making an introduction video, although Milena makes one as well.
- searching for music in the videos
- putting the videos together, making an interactive video out of it with XIMPEL.

Well this are so far my tasks I am doing alone at home ;)
