Entertainment Technology Center

Master Motion is a project of the Carnegie Mellon University Entertainment Technology Center. A prototype Tai Chi game uses a wireless virtual reality system to track and record full body movements while producing an animated representation of the player. This game, which is not currently available, allows players to work out with a virtual trainer and receive constant feedback back on accuracy and progress.

In Winds of Orbis, players of all ages can occupy the shoes of a virtual hero while exploring a world filled with puzzles, spells, and enemies to overcome. Using a floor pad, Wii remote, and nunchuck, players can climb, walk, jump, punch, slide, and otherwise engage in the activities the game character experiences. This game was developed by the Carnegie Mellon University Entertainment Technology Center and is not currently available.

This role playing game for biohazard response training was developed at Carnegie Mellon University and MIT. Players work collaboratively with others online in the role of first responders to a chemical attack. Through scenario-based and role-play learning, players learn various protocols and the concepts behind them, how to control crowds and deliver decontamination treatments, how to manage resources efficiently, and how to think creatively when resources are limited.

"The Entertainment Technology Center (ETC) at Carnegie Mellon University offers a two-year Masters of Entertainment Technology degree, jointly conferred by Carnegie Mellon University's College of Fine Arts and School of Computer Science. Carnegie Mellon is relatively unique among U.S. Universities in being able to offer this kind of degree, as we have both top-quality fine arts and top-quality technology programs."
