StoreWorld is a facebook game being developed by students at RIT, as a joint effort between
the College of Business and the School of IGM. It is a store-management game similar to
Cafe World, but the stores in question are fashion stores rather than restaurants. One of the
game’s main features AI agents that behave according to real-world business models to create
a realistic economy.
The idea for the Kinect Kiosk is to allow players to control their StoreWorld avatar using the
Kinect, and have them try on and buy clothes from other people’s StoreWorld stores.
I developed a prototype of the kiosk, where a user can control the default StoreWorld avatar,
and switch between two clothing pieces: a suit coat and a dress shirt. The prototype does not
yet interface with StoreWorld itself, but it does use art assets from the game.
