We worked with CBBC to create 4 series of Bamzooki, the award-winning TV show.

Mixed Reality Challenges

Bamzooki enables children in the UK to design the best Zook.
A Zook is a computer-generated creatures that can move and behave autonomously.
The children interact with their Zooks and compete in real time.

Studio Integration

Gameware used its Artificial Life expertise to provide the Zook’s behaviours, and integrate them with the BBC's “FreeD” virtual studio system.
This enabled real-time visualisations in a studio setting, resulting in a totally new and exciting entertainment experience.

More than 1,000,000 children downloaded the Zook creator tools.
Bamzooki remains a world-leading example of mixed reality entertainment.
