Theme
Play and Stillness

Method
I tried to start from the keyword stillness and combined the AR technology knowledge that I know so far, to explore some possibilities. I made this flowchart sketch to express the concept and idea of a simple two-person cooperate game.

Context
Originally inspired by a footage in the Deadpool movie.

At the same time, I got some inspiration from this human alphabet

Then I think it might be shared the similar working principle with the facial recognition system, or kinda related?

Response
I made a simple flowchart to show my game idea, this is an AR game that two people play together by communication and cooperation. The mobile phone screen will randomly show these hollowed letters, shapes etc.or probably the outline of them, then the mobile phone holder will need to communicate with another player to make it conform to the shape, and keep it still, stick to a few seconds to match the graphic without borders, and it is a victory, at the same time the camera will shoot and store photos with and without borders, upload, and store to the database, you can view the shapes or letters of different people through different postures, and it can be customized to use, to make some gifs or something like that.

Through the concept of this game, I have re-examined my studio project. It has provided new directions and potentials for my work. I may be able to combine these two. For example, I can draw some weird, strange shapes and graphics with lines in the air through my studio project, rather than randomly generating letters or graphics that have already been developed, this may be more interesting.
