6.13.2011 japanese american internment: the video game  Wow. Researchers at the University of California San Diego have created a video game simulating the experiences of Japanese Americans who were incarcerated in internment camps during World War II: Researchers’ Video Game Puts Players in Japanese-American Internment Camps. Drama in the Delta is a 3D role-playing game that puts players in the shoes of internees from a variety of perspectives. The game, a collaboration between UCSD's theater and dance department and the San Diego Supercomputer Center, explores two Arkansas-based internment camps and their surrounding areas: In a prototype level available now (fair warning: some computer tinkering may be required to get the game up and running, and it works only on a PC), players assume the role of Jane, a 14-year old Japanese-American girl, who has been tasked by her best friend with retrieving items scattered throughout the camp before the friend and her family are sent away. | |
