"BlowAway, The Winds of Therslow"
is a collaborative computer game where up to six players can
work together to control the movement of a balloon. They must
collect items and avoid enemies across four different islands.
The game uses an innovative physical interface. Players use
custom-built sensors, located at the periphery of a circular
table, to move the balloon over the game landscapes.
While the game is loyal to many of the conventions of traditional
computer games, it breaks others - facilitating physical, collaborative
and gender-neutral play. It has a dynamic and unique game concept,
with a distinct physical interface. Players are actively engaged,
since their breath becomes an interactive tool as they control
the strength of the air blown into the adapted in-put devices.
"BlowAway, The Winds of Therslow" uses a custom-built interface
and game arena that creates a new type of digital game play.
