Details

Have you ever been bored sitting on the couch. Scroll for something to do. Everything is either too far away or isn’t of interest to you. Or maybe you don’t feel like introducing yourself today. It doesn’t need to be that way.


Meet the Odyssey is an app where the Amazing Race with a bit of Tinder and a hint of Pokemon Go.. changes how we connect. And redefines how we travel. Some even describe us an ephemeral third space.


I’m Christina. I have over a decade AI; our team is AI driven but customer focused. Our head of ops is a Vet that keeps the team on track and in line. And we'll be on-boarding a Gaming vet with 20+ years at Unity and Electronic Arts soon to head up game development.


Our company has a prototype for our mobile app. But that isn't enough. We want to think through how to bring history and culture to players both digitally and physically. We're looking for students who want to help us explore different ways to make this happen.


Our vision is to provide location-based digital engagement with artifacts that can then lead players to a museum or pop-up museum location. For example, a player on a fashion experience might end up in China. There they are taken to site of Chinese silk trade. They collect their digital tokens , and then they are given the option to go to a museum exhibit that is open or potentially a pop-up exhibit.


We're looking for students who are interested in museums and art galleries but also the future of digital engagement.


Students could help:

  • Design a pop-up museum experience.
  • Curate a digital collect that can be used in AR experiences.
  • Identify museum/conversation experiences that can be added to the game.


Deliverables

By the end of the experience, students will be able to:

  • Research into the digital museum market to identify key trends and opportunities as well as competitors
  • Research into our target audience to determine who they are and why they do or don't visit museums
  • Develop recommendations for pop-up exhibits
  • Design recommendations and develop an implementation plan with costs
  • Curate a digital collection sourced from other museums that can be used in game.
  • Present your recommendations to management for consideration

The final deliverables could take the form of:

  • A final report
  • A 30-minute presentation
