Paths Through History
(2013)
Working on “Paths Through History” my primary role was web developer. Some of my responsibilities included, developing the sign-up system for new users and sign in system for existing users. PTH is an alternate reality experience built in HTML 5 and JavaScript. The project was funded by NY’s tourism department designed to bring gamification and interactive media to the historical sites of New York. In this 3 month contract for Magic Spell Studios in Rochester, NY , we tended to the needs of our client, the Department of NY State Tourism. Our clients requested an interactive experience to supplement their historical sites. They believed that gamification and new media would attract new visitors to the historical sites and create an overall richer experience.
