Video Game in a Box
The blogosphere highlighted this video over the last few days, but I think it is valuable to show it on this blog too. First because it introduces Teagueduino, a nice new prototyping toolkit. The prototyping toolkit project originated from Teague, a design consultancy based in Seattle. The project is on Kickstarter now (link) and has reached it’s goal, so it will move forward, yippi! Second, this project is a very inspiring example of prototyping skills and attitude. It mixes cardboard, electronics, programming, sensors to produce a compelling little but very complete tangible video game. The attention to details, the opening mechanism, cleverness on sensing/controlling the game’s parameters/actions transform a small box into something quite impressive. Nicely done!
