GAME JAM CONTEST
Do you love game design? Have you ever wanted to design for the interfaces of the future utilizing intuitive gestures, motion tracking and natural user interfaces? Orlando Science Center is looking for Orlando’s most creative game designers to come together and show how art and technology meld together to create innovative interactive experiences.
Game developers will have just over 30 hours to create a game from scratch in the 2nd Annual Otronicon Game Jam! Judges will award a team whose game best utilizes Intel® RealSense™ Technology and demonstrates the immersive nature of the simulation tools. Games created during the jam will be posted on the Otronicon website and each member of the winning team will receive their own Intel® RealSense™ development kit.
