New office decoration! The Vitruvian triad is a theory that was originally used to interpret architectural structures. It poses that every building should must exhibit three qualities: firmitas, utilitas and venustas, meaning stability, utility and beauty.⠀
⠀
⠀
In game design we transposed the three virtues as follows:⠀
⠀
⠀
♻ Firmitas - Sustainability⠀
Every design needs to work and be maintained for it to keep working in the future.⠀
⠀
⠀
🎯 Utilitas - Purpose⠀
Every project needs a clearly defined goal and a means to reach it.⠀
⠀
⠀
🏆 Venustas - Gameplay Experience⠀
Every game needs to be engaging to the player, and fit the target audience's needs and wishes.⠀

We teamed up with Holomoves to design an app that makes exercising more fun and playful. The HoloMoves app makes use of the hololens headset, which projects “holograms” in the players’ physical surroundings.
