I work for a school district in Houston, Texas. We have 12 high schools. I'm not a game developer.
I'm exploring the ideas of whether a “game” could be created quickly that would allow a virtual graduation ceremony to be held for each school.
My early thoughts are:
- player/graduate would log in to specific school “game” to load cap/gown colors and school logos
- player/graduate would choose appropriate avatar (male/female/hair color, etc.)
- player/graduate would upload photo for mapping face to avatar
game play would be automatic - very little player interaction:
- avatars would walk across stage and receive diploma from principal
- principal and others could pre-load videos of graduation speeches to be shown on virtual LED screen in virtual auditorium
- system would put graduates in alphabetical order for walking across stage
- system would “read/announce" graduate names
I don't know if this is achievable… certainly in the time frame of 6 to 8 weeks of development time….but I thought I'd put the idea out there and see if anyone has thoughts on the matter.
