For the last couple years, me and some friends have been going to Nordic Game Jam. Every year, we have made an experience where the primary interface is a robot, and it somehow makes you look silly when you interact with it.

The Italian Dinning Experience

Nordic Game Jam 2023

For Nordic Game Jam 2023 we made a dinning experience where you are trying to pick up food with a spoon and feed yourself by moving your head. The robot also sometimes reacts differently to what you expect.

For this GameJam I prototyped the interactions between the user, and the robot. In terms of physical tech, we used a LEGO Technical Hub that powers the spoon

WobbleBobble

Nordic Game Jam 2022

For Nordic Game Jam 2022 we made a flying experience where you control your player by blowing a propeller using your mouth.

For this prototype, I mostly focused on converting the head movement data into player movement, and also helping design the helmet and the color sensor propeller function. I also played the role as ‘asset wrangle’/merger, bringing in everyone elses changes: eg, sounds and assets.
