Glitch'16

Welcome to the Glitch’16 documentation website. The purpose of this website is to provide information documenting the making and playtesting of the Glitch’16 augmented reality game system. This site also contains all of the digital resources necessary to create your own game using this game system and instructions on how to put it together.

Glitch’16 was created as a lead up narrative to the fictional world created for the Museum of Colliding Dimensions (Polson, 2016)

Due to ethical considerations, the faces of participants in this project have been blurred to protect their privacy.

This website is a result of creative work undertaken as part of my honours project. This project consists of this website as a documentation blog documenting the development of the creative project, which is worth 50% of the final grade, and an exegetical framing document, which is also worth 50% of the grade, which can be downloaded below.

These results sow some trends in the way that players engaged with the game and how they interacted with the space. The individual participants are identified using the number found in the top left corner of the page in red. These results have been curated […]

Playtest 2: Locating the Checkpoints

These images depict players using the Glitch’16 app to scan map cards showing the locations of checkpoints.

Playtest 2: Teams Meet

Though the teams’ start was staggered, there were inevitably some meetings of groups. Some of these were chance meetings as teams crossed paths searching for checkpoints. Other meetings, however, occurred at checkpoints where teams would meet and work together to crack the code. A likely reason for these overlaps is that teams’ different skill levels […]

Playtest 2: Decoding

In these images, players can be seen decoding the locks on the checkpoint boxes. Players can be seen deep in thought as they collectively attempt to find the letters that corresponds to the symbols. Some notable observations about this interaction is that teams worked closely together with one individual emerging as the user of the […]
