Do you like playing the newest super-realistic video games?
Or do you prefer simpler, more cartoonish games like Mario Kart?

There’s a lot that goes into the design of a video game! OSU Marion physics professor Dr. Chris Orban will show how even the most realistic video games take shortcuts when representing the physical world.

What to Expect:

· Watch video game clips to uncover physics flaws

· Learn how physics is used in game design

· Create your own physics-based game in the Tech Lab

No registration required
