Every Friday evening, citizens of Taipei who own a camera phone can download the application by dialing a number displayed at the top of the Taipei 101 building. Players then receive an SMS giving them details of a subject to photograph.

Zhouma 101 a fun mobile game Taiwan’s digital youth, and also a great way to turn Taipei 101 an interactive billboard for companies to launch weekly advertising campaigns.

From September 2001 to February 2002, the Club transformed an office building in Berlin’s Alexanderplatz using interactive computer displays, in a project titled “Blinkenlights”. Using mobile phones and special downloaded applications project participants could play ping-pong and create custom animations on the side of the building.

070520 实境游戏─找寻运河街地铁的凶手

Canal Street Station
2006年末一推出后就备受关注的Canal Street Station是个寻找凶手的推理游戏。用的是低阶的游戏工具,诸如广播、网站论坛、电话语音以及手机短信的机制。看字面,也许有人会误会这个游戏仅仅是纽约一处地铁站的名称。然而,这个地铁在却在一夕之间摇身一变成为游戏场所,并因而造成纽约娱乐圈与艺术圈的话题。这不得不归功该站古老且诡异的芬围,给了玩家高度的游戏沈浸感与戏剧效果。

亲朋好友,这是老丁唧唧叫在北京新家的照片。昨天新入住,请了四方朋友,地板油漆的味道就著烤串就这样一晚过了,我的地方虽然小,但是据老易的说法:「这是个非常温馨且可爱的地方,你真是台湾人的骄傲。」

看著这些照片,有这样的结果,我仅能说自己已经尽力了。半个月的时间和一万块的预算,这样的一个家让我刚落脚的心情安定许多。更多照片请看这里。

大家周日愉快。
