About

Polar Worlds is a large multi-user interactive table allowing visitors to explore ethical, ecological and environmental issues facing the world's polar regions. Up to four users can watch a miniature 3D environment deliver scenarios that they get to vote on, with each player's vote influencing the environment in unique ways. 

I animated and programmed 2 interactive sequences:

1. Groups of penguins that jump into the sea when the user waves their hand above them

2. Groups of birds that fly in circle above the environment and fly away when the user waves their hand above them

I also programmed a refined version of the voting system to include percentage of similar votes.
