The Art of Gaming: Designing Immersive Art

Transforming the Sega G-loc arcade machine into an artistic experience

​

The Sega G-Loc Deluxe is an air combat flight simulator from 1990 with a rocking cabinet powered by two linear motors. Stereo speakers, flash lights and a color screen immerse the pilot in a F14-TomCat air to air combat scenario, controlled by flight stick, hand throttle, vulcan gun and missiles.

The object of the project was to create an immersive artistic experience, respecting the context of the SEGA G-Loc original game, arcade machines in general, 8 and 16-bit technology, around 1990 historic events and other technology.
