You can now read an extract from the White Paper, which Matt wrote during his extensive research on interactive drama. It is just a small snippet of the knowledge and experience Hazard have in this area. We hope that it sparks your imagination and look forward to helping you bring your ideas to fruition.

Matt and Ben are currently doing development work for a large, publicly funded broadcaster.

It’s interesting work, and we hope that some of it will come to fruition in future programmes.

Well, Hazard are just about to close up shop for the Christmas break. It’s time to sit in front of the fire instead of the computer, knock back a couple of glasses of gluhwein, and play with the techno-toys we’ve asked Santa for!

We hope you all have a great Christmas, and we look forward to hearing from you in the New Year.

The kids worked hard on their snowman last year. Please let it snow again!

Hazard took part in the BBC’s training day on dual screen experiences. Hazard presented their latest Workflow Tool, which allows for rapid prototyping of two screen solutions.

The play-along Secret Fortune game

Hazard are delighted to see CBBC’s Staring Contest go live. This project was conceived by a member of Hazard while working at the BBC, and the code was re-written by Hazard. The game uses the webcam to track the players eyes – blink and you lose. It creates an powerful link between the players and the characters/presenter who you stare against. It really feels like they are talking directly to you, because you are so focused on them.
