"With augmented reality like this…"
Levelhead is a game in which, by moving and rotating coded blocks, the “player” attempts to move a tiny trapped man through an elaborate, interlocking labyrinth. You know, to escape from daily life.
New Zealand artist Julian Oliver’s latest work, levelHead, allows viewers of the piece to interact with a 3D world by simply moving wooden blocks around in front of a web cam…Through moving and rotating coded blocks, the “player” attempts to move a tiny trapped man through an elaborate, interlocking labyrinth stretching one’s spatial memory and logical reasoning skills.
As much as I like taxing the limits of my reason in order to understand the complex requirements of a seemingly hostile world, I’m not sure I need an augmented reality in order to do it.
Could this possibly be any fun, or is it just training us for something unsavory?
