Wave
Envu
The wave is an interactive projected floor system. It's older tech with some of the better pieces of content being flash games --I know I know, Flash is so passe! But with the right design, the wave is irresistible, infectiously fun digital play. Together with others at Envu, I've completed multiple dozens of pieces of wave content. The more noteable ones were a pair of games for Reebok, a pair at Ceasar's Windsor, and an in-house demo throwback to the classic Asteroids game called Asteroid Smasher.
