Runtime in Innoventions West at Epcot

In a previous post I mentioned the Runtime video game activity inside Innoventions West in Epcot. This is the description from IBM:

"Visitors at IBM’s new Smarter Planet exhibit at INNOVENTIONS at Epcot play “Runtime,” a dynamic and customized video game experience developed by Walt Disney Imagineering.  The unique game transforms guests into their own personalized avatars, who run, jump and dance through a timeline of IBM’s achievements in the history of computing.  Guests can also email themselves the game, extending the “Runtime” experience."

You are first guided through a series of motion capture activities that will be used to create the avatar that will be you in the video game. These activities, where you run and dance in place and perform jumps, are actually a lot of fun! You are even given the opportunity to review the recordings before they are used to create the game. Once the game has been created get ready for some fun because when the game starts - you will be the main character! Also, be sure to enter your email address when asked so that a link to the game can be sent to you, giving you the option to play from home.
