HITcomet
Hitcomet is an online teaching aid realised as a game where you can make music, CD covers, video and where you are challenged to make a new media presentation of your self and your band that is entered into the Hit comet of the year competition. The concept behind this pop-idol inspired virtual reality production is that it provides a safe environment in which school kids may play and thereby learn net sense and digital literacy. The project is an ambitious simulation of media industry mechanisms and features a series of build in tools for creation and virtual communication. The project also features a comprehensive guide to teachers enabling them to coach their students on their venture into new media insight.
In an increasingly complex media reality, digital literacy and skill is becoming an important factor in understanding society and its workings. HitFactor has done an admirable job in creating a tool that may lead its target audience closer to such skill and understanding.
The digital craftsmanship and execution of HitComet is world class.
Hitcomet has an ambitious structure and a multitude of tools and functions successfully implemented in a bright and attractive package that is easy to use.
