Here In Time: Adalaj

About Project H.In.T

Project Here In Time started as the design project of Akshita Mehta and was continued in her graduation project. I was involved in both the iterations from beginning of prototyping till the end. I contriuted in the project by providing several key insights in areas of interaction design, experimentation, narrative-building, prototyping and testing apart from the development of the project in Unity.

Here-In-Time is an on-site mixed reality game to allow the user to experience historical places in an engaging way. Heritage is a very vast and culturally important domain including tangible and intangible elements. While we have authorities doing their best to conserve the spaces physically, we are hardly able to retain any associations with these non-functional spaces of the by-gone era. The experience of grandeur is no longer in the place but in history books or in theatre and film recreations.

Here-In-Time enables the user to go back into time, learn and experience while physically engaging themselves within the space. Trying to imagine what being a part of the communal gathering felt like? Experience the people indulging in routinely affairs of that time while occupying the same space as you when you walk through the courtyard several decades later. A narrative built around a trivia, the game directs you to explore the space sequentially, keep you involved and enhance your engagement with the space. Decipher the clues before the time runs out to win the game!
