Multiplayer and multiuser experiences

Working with Inhance Digital, I've developed and deployed a number of multiplayer games and multiuser experiences in event environments, typically tradeshows.

Such a system consists of several kiosks (usually touchscreen-driven) and often includes some sort of central display (such as a plasma panel, array, or projection). All these elements are networked to allow the user's activity at each station to be reflected on the central display, or to allow a moderator (in the case of a multiplayer game) to control the action.

Some systems have included cameras and photo printers, taking snapshots of attendees and printing takeaway postcards while displaying a collage of user photos on the central screen.
