Ice Blink
Change the past. Alter the future. A game that prepares scientists for polar expeditions, simulates future of arctic regions based on real data, and helps scientists prepare before expeditions
Ice Blink is a 4-dimensional systems-based augmented reality puzzle game that simulates the interaction between entities in a given localized ecosystem to predict its future along a timeline. Users can go back and forward along the timeline to make changes in the environment and observe how the effects of these changes can cascade and impact the future of these regions.
The the idea of this application is to allow researchers to create their own scenarios based on real data in order to simulate future impacts of real or hypothetical changes in the arctic regions. It can also be used by scientists to adequately prepare before embarking on an expedition. Finally, designing the app as a game makes it more accessible by a wider variety of people, which will help spread awareness of the dangers facing the arctic regions.
