The design and the tribute Hypervisual Century is a tribute to the technological and design achievements of the 20th century. After some initial considerations, an innovative approach was adopted in the interface design. Hence, more than a copy of an existent slot machine, a unique machine was created from scratch. We used a collage of elements from this century, particularly from its first half.
Typology is classical.
The symbol design also evokes images used in several coin-operated machines in this century. Image production Great care was paid to achieve realism in the machine design. A fully 3D rendered interface was as early decision, and several techniques contributed to the high quality imagery in this project. Among them we may list the generous use of textures and the careful study of highlights and shadows, so that the reels, active areas and controls stand out from the rest of the image. Symbols were designed in large scale, then reduced and manually retouched to achieve a perfect integration with the 3D model.
