Photography *of* photography! We're getting ready to promote our new release Nutrition Counselor VR. It's hard to capture someone playing virtual reality and also the visuals of what's happening in the application! Excited for today's photo session with our university photographer.
Our free interactive nutrition tool, MyPlateMyDay.org, includes foods that are traditional to New Mexico and our region. Examples include combination foods like mutton stew, posole, chile rellenos, or Indian tacos, as well as calabacitas, nopalitos, frybread, tortillas and conchas!
Flashback to this photo from Play, Make, Learn last month in Wisconsin. It was great to see our game Cozy River Valley at the demo table with other finalists for the Gee Awards. Congratulations to Velvet 89, the winner in the small studios category.
