Blockade
Multi-user interactive game
Samsung's Product Innovation Team (PIT) asked Stimulant to design and develop a launch app for their new 23" Slate PC. We wanted to showcase the object recognition feature through the use of physical dice and fun gameplay.
Thus, Blockade was born.

Game Play
In this game, two players compete to be the first to reach the opponent's side. Each turn, players roll a pair of dice or "app cubes" to determine their number of moves. However, players can also block each other by creating barricades. The player who successfully reaches the opponent's side first, wins.
App Cubes
To demonstrate the object recognition capabilities of the Samsung Slate tablet, we created a custom pair of cubes featuring distinct shapes and colors on each side. Through extensive testing and iteration, we developed a design language that the tablet's recognition system could accurately identify as unique patterns, which we then assigned numerical values to.
