Through a series of short prototypes, we are testing how perspective, movement, physical space, and multiplayer interaction change when gameplay is no longer limited to a traditional flat screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At this early stage, our goal is to understand the platform&#8217;s unique possibilities. The project will continue to evolve as we prototype, playtest, and refine our direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At its core, 360 Studio asks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How can games designed for a 360\u00b0 display change the way people play together?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are still exploring the answer. Our goal is to discover which interactions truly benefit from the 360\u00b0 format and use what we learn to create a compelling multiplayer experience that could not be achieved on a traditional flat screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-f56f613f wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-contrast-color has-text-color is-vertical is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-e8573a25 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"min-height:40vh;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-f56f613f wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\"><div style=\"margin-bottom:6px\" class=\"is-default-size aligncenter is-style-default wp-block-site-logo\"><a href=\"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/360-studio\/\" class=\"custom-logo-link\" rel=\"home\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/360-studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Newest-version-1-scaled.png\" class=\"custom-logo\" alt=\"360-studio\" srcset=\"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/360-studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Newest-version-1-scaled.png 1920w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/360-studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Newest-version-1-225x300.png 225w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/360-studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Newest-version-1-768x1024.png 768w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/360-studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Newest-version-1-1152x1536.png 1152w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/360-studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Newest-version-1-1536x2048.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-thumbnail\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/360-studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/360-Studio-Poster-Design-Presentation-1-150x150.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-229\" srcset=\"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/360-studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/360-Studio-Poster-Design-Presentation-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/360-studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/360-Studio-Poster-Design-Presentation-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/360-studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/360-Studio-Poster-Design-Presentation-1-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/360-studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/360-Studio-Poster-Design-Presentation-1-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/360-studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/360-Studio-Poster-Design-Presentation-1-1536x1536.png 1536w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/360-studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/360-Studio-Poster-Design-Presentation-1-2048x2048.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211; An ETC Project &#8211;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-social-links has-normal-icon-size is-style-logos-only is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-social-links-is-layout-41f3341a wp-block-social-links-is-layout-flex\"><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is 360 Studio? 360 Studio is an experimental game design project developed by a multidisciplinary student team at Carnegie Mellon University\u2019s Entertainment Technology Center (ETC).
