Shell EngineBots - Learning Through Play
Brief
We were briefed to create a number of different interactive experiences that would help to educate children on fuels in a fun and interactive way at the Shell Make the Future conference at Stratford.
EngineBots
This was an interactive game installation that works as an augmented reality mirror by turning kids into “EngineBots” - each corresponding to a type of engine. Kids compete in a reaction game where they transformed into a fully-formed robot as they collected more fuel crystals. The goal of the game is to compete to transform the fastest. Gameplay was followed by a quick Q&A by the host, letting players compare the fuels available today. Using three separate cameras we were able to track up to five players at any one time, making it a really fun experience for large groups of people.
