We are the Intergalactic Buttoneers. Our team is exploring the potential of Carnegie Mellon University’s Entertainment Technology Center’s iconic 5th floor Space Bridge installation as a platform to deliver location-based experiences. Engaging with the unique opportunities that the Space Bridge provides in terms of designing and deploying location-based experiences in a live installation, we aim to develop our own understanding of the process of producing location-based experiences by developing a series of prototypes that leverage the audiences and contexts present right here at the ETC.

Then, drawing from the insights we gain during the prototyping process, we are designing a final experience that fully explores what our team finds fun and exciting about the Space Bridge as a platform to deliver engaging location-based experiences, informed by what we have learned. We are excited to use the Space Bridge as a sandbox to bring our creative vision to life and, in turn, bring some life to the Space Bridge!
