Contest
'iDIO' -
Invited to Japan for a presentation to Sony Designers
iDIO (Interactive Audio)
gives birth to Audio Games - it is not Mp3, it is not Video games. Audio
Games are games that you only play with your hearing. You interact with
what you hear with buttons on the device. Imagine games like remixing your
music on the go or beeping out swear words during a phone conversations.
iDIO is a Walkman Revolution which will give birth to a brand new
Entertainment Industry.
The Birth of a Brand New Entertainment Industry
iDIO gives something totally fresh to both the existing music and games
market. This Walkman Revolution will bring new experiences to consumers and
new opportunities for games designers, musicians, voice actors and more! iDIO
is definitely a revolution because it can not be classified in any of today's
mainstream entertainment genres.
Creative Games iDIO paves way for infinite creativity.... imagine games like: Prank
calling your favourite cartoon character. Relationship simulator which teaches
you how to talk on a first date. Tongue-Twister challenge which scores you
and your friends and rank you against players from around the world.
Interactive audio novel which you get to choose your endings or even collect
items like a RPG game. Dynamic Music Album where after listening to an Avril
Lavigne's song the third time unlocks the ability to remix her songs yourself!
