Collideascope develops new ecosystem learning tool
Halifax-based Collideascope Digital Productions is in the final development stages of a new digital ecosystem online. Company president Steve Comeau recently told CNM that the project is being developed in conjunction with the Banff Centre for the Arts, and that he is now looking for a syndication and licensing deal for the property, likely with a content aggregator. "I’m just creating a gigantic planet ecosystem lab that kids can log on to and create their own creature. They can put them in the ecosystem and sort of watch them decline or thrive, and learn about ecology," he says. Further development will likely include a simple ITV application for which he is putting funding together, and a closed-circuit version for educational institutions.
