Interactive Game Played through Touchscreen Technology
Developed at the Electronic Visualization Laboratory (EVL)at the University of Illinois at Chicago by MS graduate candidate Arthur Nishimoto, “Fleet Commander” explores how a real-time interactive strategy game that would typically rely on complex keyboard commands and mouse interactions be transferred into a multi-user, multi-touch environment.
Originally designed for use with TacTile, a 52-inch multi-touch LCD tabletop display, “Fleet Commander” game play has been ported to EVL’s 20-foot wide multi-touch LCD wall, Cyber-Commons.
“Fleet Commander” uses Processing, an open source programming language.
