MindChime

Microsoft, Virtual Worlds Group 1996

Project Description: This was an experiment for using a narrative to constrain a virtual environment. I worked with a writer to develop a story about a futuristic environment and an underground resistance. After going through the story, the user has to prove his/her membership to the resistance by taking a test, called the "MindChime". The user will have a different appearance in the chat environment as a result of his/her test score.

This was a collaboration with the playwright Michael Barnwell and Lily Cheng of Microsoft Research.

Technical Notes:  This was created in Macromedia Director/Lingo.
