During the past 3 weeks we’ve been teaching a workshop inspired by old school video games. The idea behind the workshop was to modify an Atari 2600′s video games adding a simple twist to it. It could be by changing part of the playability of the game or by using other inputs than just buttons.
The students came up with 3 final pieces: Barreño, Beatlaw and Indy 501. Please visit the workshop website to play them, download the source code or get more info about the workshop process of work.
This workshop was created by Aer Studio for IDAT, with Cristobal Castilla and David Dalmazzo as tutors

We are very exited to have the first version of the iPhone App: Enllaç ready to download!
Enllaç is an app to help you find the best route to your destination using public transportation in Barcelona. You can choose any mode of transportation; whether it be metro, bus, train, tram, public bicycles, taxi or even going by foot. It mashes up services from Tranports Metropolitans de Barcelona like Vull Anar and iBus along with Google Maps and Bicing. This way you can discover new routes or just know if you are going to arrive in time to catch the next bus.
Its is designed for daily use, so it is very straight forward and fast. The only thing you need to know is where you want go. Enllaç does everything else.
Give it a go! We’d love your feedback! More information on the Enllaç website.
And don’t forget to rate it in the AppStore!

With the purpose of teaching the fundamentals of hyper-textual story telling, Catalina Pérez and us created Continuidad de los pixeles, a practical workshop for Univ. Caldas’ Maestría en Diseño y Creación Interactiva.
We worked intensively with 30 students during 3 full days in order to conceptualize and create modular stories built using Flickr photos and Twitter tweets. The result was an interactive application made in Processing that allow the users to navigate the stories and interpret them in many different ways.
