AURA
The Lightbringer
AURA was developed to bring PLAY into a spatial installation, without devices. Use your body to move through the three different landscapes and routes. Each one features different environments as well as obstacles, such as jellyfish or whales, on the way to the volcano. Once players make it through those paths and collect lights on their way, AURA is able to light it up and make the world shine.To add even more detail, AURA is developing additional features and possibilities within the gameplay. Acceleration, jumping and visual character customization allow players to connect even more with AURA.
Kinect enabled motion controlled game interaction
What started out as an experiment, ended up turning into a complete game experience. Aura is an easy flowing gameplay with beautifully crafted aesthetics and soothing meditative sounds. Playable not at home, but at venues, retail, museums, popups stores out in the real world - without the need of your ever-present mobile phone.
We are using an Azure Kinect for body tracking, so no controller is needed to get started. You can literally walk by on the street at a shopping window and start playing. We wanted to offer some tranquility and peace while providing some fun and easy ways to explore and share.

Unraveling the Mysteries of a Darkened World
Embark on a journey through a world cloaked in darkness, where the remnants of light flicker faintly in the shadows. In this atmospheric adventure, your mission is to restore vitality and radiance to a realm plunged into obscurity.
You begin amidst a desolate landscape, shrouded in clouds of gloom. Yet, amidst the gloom, hope glimmers faintly. As you gather fragments of light, the pulse of life within the world begins to quicken, illuminating the path ahead.
At the heart of this fractured realm lies a dormant volcano, once the lifeblood of the land, now extinguished and broken into myriad shards. Yet, amidst the ruins, small luminous beings endure, guardians of the dwindling light. It falls upon you to aid these diminutive creatures in rekindling the flame of life, to breathe vitality back into the world.
Venture forth, collecting the scattered remnants of the volcano's power to bolster your own strength and agility. Navigate the ethereal sea of clouds, evading obstacles and forging your own path through the enigmatic landscape. Along the way, uncover the echoes of a bygone era, encountering ancient relics and remnants of a once-thriving civilization.
