ReExhibit VisualCache Prototype
ReExhibit VisualCache Prototype
What is ReExhibit?
ReExibhit is an upcoming game focused on collecting memories, and remembering them by building unique personal exhibits
What is VisualCache?
VisualCache is a prototype experience for capturing & collecting special memorable moments and experiences.
- Discover VisualCaches hidden around the real world and digital experiences
- Capture a VisualCache, and get a collectible item that represents the memory of when/where you discovered the VisualCache
- Collect VisualCaches of fun and sweet memories
- Build your personal exhibit of memories to share
- Create VisualCaches of your own! Sign up for the Waitlist here to learn more
Why VisualCache?
VisualCache combines the fun digital experience of
- Easter Eggs
- Collectibles
- Achievements
and brings them into the real-world using scannable codes!
At the same time, it also combines the fun real-world experience of:
- Scavenger Hunts
- Stamp Books
- Geocaches
and brings them into a digital collection!
How do I create my own VisualCache?
Please send me an email and tell me about what kind of VisualCaches you'd like to make! Please include these details:
- A little bit about yourself!
- Description of how you plan on using/where you plan on stashing the VisualCache
- Content Warning (NSFW? Trypophobia? Arachnophobia?)
- Actual detail of collectible items that will be granted by scanning the VisualCache (please be careful, as editing these detail later might be very difficult!)
- Display Name of the Item (help users quickly identify the memory!)
- Brief Description of the Item (help users quickly remember why the item is important!)
- Where/How the user would have found the VisualCache (help users quickly recall the fun memory of discovering the VisualCache!)
- Image for the Item (must be a 256px by 256px PNG)
- Do you own the full rights to the contents? (Y/N)
and send the email to: detouristcollective+vcreq@gmail.com
Looking forward to seeing what you create!
Where can I place my VisualCache?
Anywhere! You get to be creative in deciding what to hide, and where to hide your cache. This is what makes it fun for others to discover your VisualCache!
What's next?
I plan on turning this prototype into a full digital experience by the end of the year! Sign up for the Waitlist here to be one of the first to start creating and collecting VisualCaches on ReExhibit!
Is there a future roadmap?
In order to make it easy for anyone to get started, we allow people to start their collection without creating an account. All the collection data gets stored locally!
This makes things easy, but does come with some downsides:
- Progress is not synced across devices/browsers
- Progress can easily be lost
- Collection data can easily be manipulated, as it is stored locally
The next planned features are:
- Tools for making it easier for anyone to create their own VisualCache
- Cloud sync options for collections
- SecureCache
- VisualCache can be shared with other people who didn't make the actual discovery
- SecureCache is a one-time-code that can only be scanned by the intended recipient, and cannot be shared with others
- VisualCache can be shared with other people who didn't make the actual discovery
- Collection Passport
- API that allows you to check a user's collection to see if they own certain collectibles
- Use it to introduce interactions between your creations
- Examples:
- Fans that have played one of your other games, or attended previous events can be given unique cosmetic items
- You can collaborate with another creators! What if unlocking a unique achievement in a friend's game unlocked a fun bonus in your game, and vice versa?
- Examples:
