Mata-Tunnel
​
The Mata-Tunnel facilitates a transfer of focus using games to grab the player’s attention. It has natural and technological elements to create a feeling of being in a brand new space once they leave the building.

Mata-Tunnel is a semi-open multi-function tunnel which aims at applying Disney’s design principles to create a new outdoor space within our university that addresses current students, faculty and visitors needs while providing a respite from the stresses of college life.

And it's not just a beautiful tunnel......
Different games go on in different tunnels and change over time.
We want the games to be fun, involve light physical interactions, easy to collaborate with friends and able to interact with people who are just passing by.
Active Play
​
the player will sign in and be given a Hakuna Avatar. This avatar will guide them through quick successive challenges and keep their score while they play and after they leave.
​
Passively Play
​
the player can touch the screens to interact with no avatar or score. They can even shift their focus to other people playing through the story and help them accomplish their challenges.
