Touch to remove barriers to accessibility. Touch to create an experience
that is so natural that users don't even think about the implementation and
focus only on the experience. Technology that allows people to use their computer
in a more natural, accessible, and interactive way. We challenged Windows 7 Touch
Challenge competitors to develop solutions that used Touch technology while expanding
the possibilities of how a user can interact with a computer to help make the world
a better place.

We created our Windows Phone
7 competition entrry: Fabric of Time in an attempt to point out some of the world's
toughest problems while having fun at the same time. The game starts off with the
protagonist searching for his father but then stumbles upon an item called dimensional
scissors which allows him to travel between parallel worlds. This other world also
has its fair share of issues and the player must try to find ways to better both
worlds using resources found in both areas. It's a 2.5-D puzzle platformer where
the player must control both characters simultaneously. The two characters have
to rely on one another to get past the levels. Creating a Fabric of Time was a challenging
endeavor and a great chance for us to sharpen our skills!
