This was one of the capstone projects towards my Masters in Entertainment Technology. Our client was the Madeira Theme Park, which is located in Madeira, Portugal. Inspired by traditional Madeiran music and instruments, Ilha Musical is an interactive experience in which guests help growing flowers and creating buildings to create a village of joy and beauty to the Island of Madeira by playing instruments and singing through kiosk and microphone.
In this project, I was the technical director and programmer for the team. In order to be able to test our contents, I had to conceptualize and build a CAVE (Cave Automatic Virtual Environment) since it wasn't feasible for us to go back at forth to the Theme Park every time we needed to run user studies, due to their geographic location.
I also programmed an interactive multiplayer game in 360 where children have to perform a traditional music song in order to unlock all the features and bonus points of Ilha Musical. Lastly, I developed kiosk using Arduino Microcontrollers, force sensing resistors and pressure switches, to use as our input devices.
