For your final projects, I want to see things that are:

• Conceptual
• Experiental
• Experimental
• Bug-free

Push yourselves to think of something that goes beyond sitting at a computer. Remember our goal is to create for the convergence of media.

To that end we will look at some projects that subscribe to that model:

Invisible Ideas
(HOMEWORK: Read through Bill Perry's article on Adobe.com -- look at the overview as a good example of a writing a project spec for your final project.)

New Gaming node exemplar of MITs Project NML

My own Concerto for Voicemail #1

The Beast
(HOMEWORK: Read the PDF abstract, This Is Not A Game: Immersive Aesthetics and Collective Play)

The Lost Experience
(wikipedia entry on the Lost Experience)

and a look back at some convergent ideas from over 25 years ago!

Any other examples that you guys have found? Post comments with links!
