Combine the activities of Wooly Willy and playing with your food and you’ll have something similar to these awesome Food Face Dinner Plates. These plates not only encourage playing with your food, but they demand it.
The Food Face Dinner Plate allows children to explore their creativity and allows us adults to add another great toy to our own collection. The plates will be available in late-June for $9.99 from Perpetual Kid.
Los Angeles is a focal point for earthquakes and it’ll be no surprise to scientists when another one hits the San Andreas Fault in the future. When it comes to ground trembling geological faults, you’ve got to be prepared.
That’s where Aftershock comes in. Aftershock is a game based on a 300-page U.S. Geological Survey that details how screwed L.A. would be if another devastating earthquake hit. The Institute for the Future and Art Center College of Design does not want L.A. to be caught with its pants down. So, Aftershock has been created as an interactive training system that will not only increase awareness, but change people’s behavior towards earthquakes.
“Think of the scenario as DOS,” said Jason Tester, the lead game designer at the IFTF. “[Aftershock] is like the GUI to the scenario.”
Well put, Mr. Tester.
