For a second time we teamed up with our long time collaborator and partners at Studio Irma.This time we created a variety of content and software for the Artcade Expo experiences, again at the venue at Plein Publik BXL in Brussels, Belgium.

Just like for the Planet Happines Expo we created a scanner device that would recognise and scan coloring drawings of a grid of ‘pixels’ the public could color and then scan.
Once a colored drawing was scanned it would be send to a 4 player arcade machine where the scanned drawings would be used as enemy characters in a arcade gun shooter, which is a mix between classics like Galaga, Invaders and Duck Hunt.

At the Artcade Expo visitors would have to download a smart phone companion app which will guide them through the venue, on the route various qr codes can be scanned with information about the expo or the current experience they are at.
All visitors on starting the app would be presented with a character creator we created, this character would then be used in various experiences in the Artcade expo.

We created a on premise communication server that would allow the smart phone companion app to communicate with all experiences inside the Artcade expo.
