The video game festival, which was a part of the Open Studio event for the Institute of Creativity, Arts, and Technology (ICAT) at Virginia Tech, featured four new video games created by an inter-disciplinary team of art, computer science, and education students, who were led by Dane Webster, associate professor in the School of Visual Arts. Twelve gaming consoles were available to try out the newly created games.
The Institute for Creativity, Arts, and Technology is the research arm of the Center for the Arts at Virginia Tech. By forging a pathway between transdisciplinary research and art, educational innovation, and scientific and commercial discovery, the institute works to foster the creative process to create new possibilities for exploration and expression through learning, discovery, and engagement.
