emergence. I had recently come across Conway’s Game of Life and was fascinated by the idea that the interaction of a few elementary rules could result in such complex behaviors. I was already aware of this idea when I started studying Game Design from some exceptional books (Game Design Workshop, Challenges for Game Designers, and Rules of Play) and from MIT’s Game Design course on OCW. I tried a few different ideas and concluded that for an effective emergent system, I would require a set of objects with some unique properties. A robust rule system would be critical to the design of this emergent system. The result was that I had squares which were abstractions for the object. These squares had 4 different colors and were marked with numbers 1 through 3. That meant that I had 12 unique combinations of objects. Next, I needed a method of interaction with the system. I was exploring the use of dice in games that day, and felt that they would add a nice layer of probability. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/582d185b59cc6841fa09a780/1574026138515-9I3YYC3LG5LDB8JUASI1/image-asset.jpeg Games - Phenomenology- an approach that concentrates on the study of consciousness and the objects of direct experience https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/582d185b59cc6841fa09a780/1641553432918-OOOQG6V5MTAS3SCYN83U/TUP_16x9.png Games https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/582d185b59cc6841fa09a780/1641553764118-4Y00PIE7FS32WZF7BKAN/Discarnate_01.png Games https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/582d185b59cc6841fa09a780/1641554567324-9B43BDI1S5TVYVWU8VR2/Key%2BArt.jpg Games https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/582d185b59cc6841fa09a780/1641554653882-X1Z4NZ5FUPKUCYK09DH7/livelikevr.jpg Games https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/582d185b59cc6841fa09a780/1641556633649-DLO4160N2XQKSSRSV3GR/hello-puppets-selection-mortimer.png Games https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/582d185b59cc6841fa09a780/1574028433020-1DP5SUW525LBCL52I8B5/walden.png Games https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/582d185b59cc6841fa09a780/1643993367039-ZNZTWDZKZF8LQ7BQW56P/VVR2_PDP_pink%2B%282%29.png Games https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/582d185b59cc6841fa09a780/1663102419831-XBBA98Y34ZMOQ9OJ2HWJ/HP_Logo.png Games https://www.jiviteshdhaliwal.com/more-games daily 0.75 2020-03-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/582d185b59cc6841fa09a780/1582356099139-APIJ4ZQIUX2LMNY50079/image-asset.jpeg More Games - The Toymaker's Bequest The Toymaker's Bequest is a mobile puzzle narrative experience that tells a sympathetic story of a toymaker leading a reclusive life manufacturing mechanical toys that capture stories of societal struggle under a playful veneer.

Mostly a text based experience, it is an exploration of Immanuel Kant's philosophy on morality. The fictional story of "Her Face" takes place in northern India sometime during the early 90's. A father-daughter relationship acts as a backdrop to the story on different definitions of kindness. It is a minimalistic game with the sole purpose of enabling players to understand (from Kant's perspective) the morality of kindness. Her Face uses facial expressions as inputs to proceed the story, adding another layer of empathy with its characters.

For All is designed to be played with 7 or more people from diverse backgrounds. Ethnic, social, mental, physical or any other diversity is crucial for this game’s premise. The game encourages individuals to evaluate systemic privileges and biases in our society, and to stand up for others to support each other’s liberties to make the world a better place.

This research project explores how immersive design tools may impact the future of design and creative work. Insights from fieldwork with designers and engineers at Steelcase inspired a series of design fiction scenarios in room-scale VR. Role: Interaction Design Researcher Tools: Unity3D, Custom Networking Tools We focused in particular on exploring how immersive interfaces could reshape practices of ideation, sketching, modeling, annotation, and prototype-review. We developed a methodology we call immersive design fiction to situate fictional embodied experiences in VR. As speculative interaction designers, immersive design fiction enables us to go beyond the simple prototyping of interfaces to also model the interaction rituals and surrounding social worlds that might envelope these experiences. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/582d185b59cc6841fa09a780/1582264710905-GOEL07SR1NWJZJVNHLPT/image-asset.jpeg More Games - Divided Divided was a week long project designed around the exploration of Space. I chose to depict the story of the Partition of India through minimal graphics and music. It is the story of neighbors turning against each other and the loss of innocence.

Players experience a wide range of dynamical environmental challenges during walking as well as altruistic feeling of helping the virtual world. Accurate and efficient walking to a target is the key element to win the game. By using vive trackers for the feet, we were able to give useful feedback to patients about their walking skills. Role: Interaction Designer Tools: Unity3D Walkabout was created by a team of five including a current PhD candidate in Physical Therapy, a film maker and three MFA candidates from the Interactive Media and Games division at USC: Aram Kim, Patrick Bender, Daniel Batista, Wilson Stiner and Jivitesh Dhaliwal. Walkabout was created over a duration of 48 hours. It won the second prize at VRSC. https://www.jiviteshdhaliwal.com/new-events daily 0.75 2020-04-17 https://www.jiviteshdhaliwal.com/game-music daily 0.75 2020-02-21 https://www.jiviteshdhaliwal.com/assorted-music daily 0.75 2016-11-19 https://www.jiviteshdhaliwal.com/the-bookcase daily 0.75 2018-04-03 https://www.jiviteshdhaliwal.com/fall-from-grace daily 0.75 2020-04-17 https://www.jiviteshdhaliwal.com/about daily 0.75 2024-07-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/582d185b59cc6841fa09a780/42eb9a5c-c065-4beb-8fa1-89d937482885/Jivitesh_Dhaliwal_Headshot.jpg About https://www.jiviteshdhaliwal.com/contact daily 0.75 2020-02-27 https://www.jiviteshdhaliwal.com/ffg_image daily 0.75 2019-11-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/582d185b59cc6841fa09a780/1573199050020-7J3GQ1TM3TA8CMQAMYRC/Visual_Layout_Narrative.png FFG_Image
