Ideum
Colonize Mars is a multi-user touchscreen exhibit, in which users work together to develop a colony on Mars through several stages of objectives. Visitors can work together to get a high score by building their colony quickly as a team.
User Experience
Visitors are responsible for creating their own colony on Mars by supplying colonists with food, water, oxygen, and power.
-
Users are guided through a series of objectives to build a self-reliant colony.
-
The objectives gradually increase in complexity as the production grows to support complex materials.
-
Once the colony can support human life, users can expand their number of colonists.
-
An end game timer starts once visitors build a communications dish. For the duration of that timer, visitors should produce as much science from their colony as possible. The amount produced is added to the high score screen.
User Interaction
Users can touch the screen to:
-
Mine natural resources.
-
Move resources to supply manufacturing facilities.
-
Assign colonists to work on parts of the production chain.
-
Tap on structures and objectives to learn more about them.
Educational Points
-
Natural resources can be harvested, such as: ore, soil, and ice (water).
-
Most construction materials need to be produced on Mars from these natural resources.
-
Develop and maintain production chains to build increasingly complex materials.
-
Successful colonies can support additional colonists.
-
Colonists can be assigned as workers to automate tasks.
Hold Time Data
Visitors played on average up to 7 mins per day in a 4 week time span.
( The Average Maximum of each day was 19 minutes )
