Totem games at « la fête de la science », Evry France

“La fête de la science” (the science fest) is a national manifestation organized by the French Research Ministry. Its purpose is to render science research accessible for everyone. The 20^th edition of the manifestation was held from the 12^th to the 16^th of October 2011 under the theme “Chemistry”.

Following that theme, we have created an augmented reality mobile game based on basic elements (water and carbon dioxide). The game consisted in catching the atoms and compounding them into their corresponding element and was played at the Evry University.  On Friday (13^th) we received 10 high school groups and Saturday was open to all public (family audience).
