Experience Entranced at SXSW

| No Comments | digg this

Entranced is a 3D interactive music experience designed to balance emotions, excite the imagination, and develop rhythm all while being immersed in a vibrant and responsive visual landscape. By listening to music, observing visual cues, and receiving feedback from the game controller, each player interprets and performs movements in sync with the music. The result is dazzling visual and audio rewards.

Come interact with Entranced at SXSW and schmooze with Jason Asbahr, President of Monstrous. During the SXSW Interactive Festival, Jason will be running demos, answering questions, and giving you a chance to play Entranced.

See you at SXSW 2009!
