Limelight is a three-dimensional public interaction game that undergrads in Hagenberg’s Interactive Media and Digital Arts program invite visitors to u19 – CREATE YOUR WORLD to play. The chief protagonist of this game set in a magical world is a little wizard attempting to make his way through the darkness to his destination. Eerily glowing goblins are his allies—but behind them are none other than the players, whom a tracking system depicts as balls of light. On the other hand, a cell phone is all anyone needs to put obstacles in the wizard’s way—a simple SMS suffices to bring monsters into play.
