Sortie le 3 Avril 2014 sur l’Apple Store, Monument Valley est un jeu de puzzle développé par Ustwo. Influencé par les dessins de M.C. Escher, ce jeu n’est pas un simple jeu d’architecture divertissant ; il est avant tout très graphique et esthétique dans sa direction artistique. A découvrir en vidéo dans la suite.

Comme Etienne Lavie, Halley Docherty confronte brillamment la ville et l’art. Dans cette série, elle intègre des couvertures d’albums cultes à leurs vrais lieux sur Google Street. Un mélange qui joue avec l’urbanisme, la musique et la culture numérique, à découvrir dans la suite de l’article.
The 29-story Cira Centre building in Philadelphia has received a makeover of monstrous proportions for this year’s Philly Tech Week. Frank Lee, a professor at Drexel University, designed a building-sized Tetris game. The arcade favorite took over two sides of the structure, of which were in competition to see who could better fit the falling pieces together. Just as in real life, the game was played using joysticks that were integrated to the building’s LED lights through 4G. Check out this video to see it in action:
When it comes to sailboat racing, the difference between winning & losing is the ability to adapt a carefully orchestrated plan to the ever-changing natural & competitive environment, faster than the competition. The key is having the right info at the right time. The Afterguard system provides this info by combining fighter style HUD with boat instrumentation data to give the best situational intelligence & performance metrics at a glance, on a small display mounted on sunglasses made for the harshest of environments.
StartSequence: at a glance the user will know with certainty how the boat is tracking to the start line, freeing the crew to concentrate on the speed build and competition for the perfect star. This is made possible by the intelligent time-to-kill metric that uses the boat’s current heading and speed to calculate the exact amount of time the boat must kill before crossing the line precisely at the gun.
Performance Dashboard: this displays the relevant information to any given crew member, from the helmsman to the trimmer. Metrics include boat speed, speed over ground, wind angle, wind speed, polar targets, heel and depth.
Virtual Tactician: this feature removes the guesswork associated with making a mark or clearing a boat. By tracking the user’s gaze and combining it with the system’s data the user will be able to make split second tactical decisions with relying on a hand bearing compass, lines marked on the deck or other basic means. Simply put, the user will be able to look at another boat and gauge whether they are ahead and whether there is room to cross.

There can’t be a more perfect setting for a mystical, digital playland than M.C. Escher’s dizzying artwork. Monument Valley an iPad app by ustwo has the player interacting with surreal architecture and solving sculptural puzzles in an attempt to help a damsel in distress—Princess Ida, in this case. (Because what game would be complete without a princess in need?)
While most of our other time-consuming guilty pleasure apps focus more on timed completions than pretty scenery (I’m looking at you, Bejeweled/Fruit Ninja), the scenes found in Monument Valley encourage a bit of dilly-dallying. As one of the designers rightly puts it: “Every screenshot can be printed and hung on a wall.” Check out a behind-the-scenes walk-through with the game’s designers:
