Rise and Fall by Theo Watson and Emily Gobeille

Rise and Fall is a new interactive project developed and designed by Theo Watson and Emily Gobeille for the cover of ‘boards magazine’s Innovation issue. The actual piece is a gentle and subtly engaging Augmented Reality project that utilizes both the cover and back of the magazine to manipulate the camera and story flow within the piece.

You can access the source code (if you’re interested) right here.

Read more for a making-of the piece and a Q&A with Emily and Theo about it.

IdN is still killing it…

I mean, what can you say about IdN? They really are always ruling hard. I could not figure out what to post from the stuff that they have up right now, so I figured I would just link to it in general.  It just all looks incredible. They are always awesome at discovering talent that […]
