Similar Tori Emaki, Mesmerize is a series of interactive effects that would showcase the PLayStation Eye camera possibilities. Mesmerize is a collection of 10 these interactive effects and helped showcase the improved body tracking capabilities of the PlayStation Eye camera.

These experiences were created and developed by artists and developers individually where I oversaw the overall development and assisted with interaction and general guidance.

Mesmerize was released in 2 packs, Mesmerize Trace and Mesmerize Distort. Both were part of a larger collection of projects that we developed, including:

  • FlyOver – which allowed the player to fly over a fully procedurally generated earth-like planet, allowing unique endless flights over rivers, seas, canyons and mountain tops, using your arms as if you were flying yourself.
  • FirePlace – a high definition interactive fire place with hyper realistic burning simulation
  • Aqua Vita – an interactive tropical aquarium allowing the player to feed and play with the lifelike fishes in the tank.

Although all 3 experiences were finished, only Aqua Vita was released along side Mesmerize and Tori Emaki.
