On the occasion of the 'Nuit Européenne des musées', the MUSBA and MMI decided to collaborate once again ! Our mission as MMI student was to create a full interface on a very large touch table. Divided in 6 groupes and a QA group, we had to create 5 different educational interactive experiences. We created the game 'Papa's Vanitas'.
We chose to focus on vanity paintings and base the mecanics on 'Papa's Pizzeria' games. The player would recreate Jan Van KESSEL's 'Natures morte aux crustacés', guided by a little doodled chef : Jeff Deuvreve.
Then, started wireframing to test an interface on the real device. We had only one hour to test the touch table. We also started to test the native js touch properties.
We decided to focus on 2 aspects of vanity painting : composition & symbolisms. We also chose to keep doodles as our art direction. We hesitated between a free composition, a guided ingredient-by-ingredient composition and a mix of the two. We landed on the mix.
After a few user tests, we landed on a simpler interface, without knife and pitcher, focusing all the interaction on the bottom half of the screen.
