Live Web


Charades has traditionally been a well-known party game played in fixed spaces such as a living room. This project aims to bring charades to a new virtual space with the use of live web camera and instant chat technologies. Players take turns acting out a work or phrase, while others make guesses in the form of chat messages. This web experience captures the same liveliness, body language and social interaction as in the traditional game.

Audience

User Scenario

User is designated a role (Actor or Guesser)

Implementation
The flash-based interface was created in Flex Builder, while the server software was designed for Flash Media Server.
