Bobby Schweizer talks about the news game he is helping develop called “The Cartoonist.” He was among the students talking about their projects at the GVU Fall Research Showcase at Georgia Tech on Wednesday, Oct. 26, 2011.
The showcase was a fascinating look into what the students were researching, testing or developing. There’s some great stuff going on there. (I did an earlier blog post on another project I saw there)
Here’s some coverage about Schweizer, news games and “The Cartoonist.”
