Seite1girl is a live exhibition promoting a line of lingerie for the German clothing store C&A. Every evening from 20:30 to 24:00 (German time), a video projection in front of the store displays models wearing the lingerie. The specific poses are chosen by users online at http://seite1girl.de, and the reactions to those poses by passersby are broadcast via streaming video back to the web site. The project is a collaborative effort by the newspaper "Bild Zeitung" and C&A.

Tampopo

Tampopo is an art exhibition by Kentaro Yamada in which users can blow the seeds off a virtual dandelion. One blow can affect not only the dandelion in the gallery but also other dandelions on the network (or internet). A number of viewers can blow each other's dandelions from remote locations. For more information on Yamada-san's work, see: http://www.kentaroyamada.com

Petanque52

A multiplayer ball-rolling game that takes some inspiration from lawn bowling. Players try to roll balls as close as possible to a target ball, across a lawn. Play one-on-one or in teams. To play, click on "jouer" on the home page, then choose a free "boulodrome" (1 or 2). Register as a new user or log in with the username: "unityplayer" and password "tester". Petanque52 was designed and programmed by Marc Milocco, and is based on the real game by the same name.

Sky Sports Chat
[screenshot]
A celebrity chat application created for Sky Sports by dubit. Held on fridays, the chat regularly sees more than 400 users. According to Matthew Warneford, one of the chat's creators, "the application delivers a compelling and engaging opportunity to interactive with famous sporting celebrities through a safe, moderated, environment."

Matthew continues, "The application business logic was developed as a custom Java UPCRoom on the server side. Not only does this protect important intellectual property, but secures the application user roles--essential when considering the chats high profile."

Groovy Girls

The classic two-player game of battleship, remade with an underwater fish theme. Excellent design, polish, and implementation. This game was created entirely using Unity 2's client-side code library. No custom Java code was required. The game is part of a pay site, and is password-protected. However, you can join as a guest of moock.org using the following information:
1) click on "spielen".
2) enter the username: unity
3) enter the password: tester
* note that only one "unity" user can be logged in at a time. if a second user logs in as "unity" both will be kicked off.

Unity 1 Applications
The following applications were all created with Unity 1.

tridam
[view screenshot]
tridam is a multiplayer game that combines the rules of checkers with rock, paper, scissors. you move your rocks, paper and scissors around the board like checkers pieces. to take your opponent's piece, your piece must win the classic rock, paper, scissors contest. it's a seriously challenging and addictive twist on checkers.

a few notes on how to play: to move, you click your piece, then click an open square. to take an opponent's piece, you click your piece, then click the square *on the other side* of the opponent's piece. if you can possibly take a piece, you must take it--you won't be able to make any other moves.

flash developer/designer riccardo deponti implemented the game based on an idea by maurizio borsani, with help from enrico deponti.

hidden and dangerous 2
