BARCELONA, Spain – Family Channel has partnered with Spatial View, the Sheridan Visualization Design Institute, and the Ontario Centres of Excellence to create a glasses-free 3D mini game, unveiled Tuesday at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
The collaboration resulted in a proof-of-concept mini game called ‘Carnival Craze’ that can be played and viewed in natural 3D, without glasses, on Apple’s iPhone.
“We are excited to extend Family Channel’s engagement with young Canadians to include the development of innovative gaming on this highly interactive platform,” said Barbara Bailie, director of interactive for Astral Television Networks, in the press release. “Gaming remains the most popular activity on our website, Family.ca, so we’re keen to extend our reach into gaming by having our Ontario-based Interactive team work closely with cutting-edge developers to deliver Family’s Never A Dull Moment experience to kids on the move.”
Spatial View provided its 3DeeShell, a protective iPhone case equipped with a special 3D viewing lens, plus a software development kit, while the Sheridan Visualization Design Institute designed and developed the game, and refined the software kit in collaboration with Spatial View. Family Channel provided the sponsorship, creative and brand direction for the project.
