To  Observe  is  to  INFLUENCE

6/27/2015

 
Hey everyone,

Here is another update from your favorite dentist! I thought I should talk a little bit about the genesis of our current project: Beacon 38.

Before it was a game, before it even was a prototype, it started on a whiteboard as a very simple concept: "To observe is to influence". Inspired by the observer effect 
both in physics and anthropology, the idea is that one cannot ignore its presence and the impact on the system it is observing. The act of looking itself is not impact-less. In physics, it is often due to the input of the photons sent into the system to observe it. As soon as the system is small enough, these photons can dramatically change its energy and state. In anthropology, not only is your simple presence, and example, affecting those you are studying, the knowledge of being observed can alone completely change their behavior.

Considering our passion for exploration in games, it is no surprise that this concept fascinates Alex and I. We decided to make two prototypes where the main mechanic would be observation and the twist, the impact. One of them was called "Skull".

The other one "Sonar".
Picture
Sonar had you thrown into a dark world, one you would need to reveal with a "sonar". Initially, you would reveal sources of fuel and obstacles to evade. But soon, creatures would start reacting to your sonar, hunting for you. As you understand their behavior, you start being able to direct them. Observation as the main mechanic, where to look is to act.
Picture
It wasn't really a game yet, but there was something to explore. Pun intended.

Thank you for mentioning how you should take the time to look for a dentist that is qualified to help with your particular issues. I can see that taking the time to understand this can help you find someone that knows how to provide the dental care you need and make any corrections to it. Personally, I would also want to consult with my insurance company to make sure I choose dental services from someone that accepts my coverage and can provide the services I need to keep my teeth healthy.

Of course, it didn't hurt that Woodruff's friend, General Dwight Eisenhower, was a great promoter of Coke as well. By the time the war ended, hundreds of thousands of fighting men and women became a fan of Coca-Cola for the rest of their lives.Under the leadership of Goizueta, Don Keough, and Doug Ivester, Coca-Cola emerged as a growth and must-own stock during the late 1980s and up to the mid to late 1990
