The scene generator creates random components (contexts, people, and design) and activities. It has a wide range of uses. Educators can use it to randomly generate content for a project or assignment. Practicing designers can use the scene generator as a brainstorming tool to help them consider a wide range of factors that can affect what should be designed. Anyone can use it as a party game.

Have fun designing for rich experiences!

Enjoying a day at the park, away from work.

Chicago, IL
Nearly 80 acres of space. It's huge!
Bike riders. Skateboarders. Horseback riders.
It's sunny today. What a gorgeous day!
Birds tweeting. The whir of drone's propellers.
Water fountains. Restrooms. Paved trails.
Keep your dog on a leash.
Four hours before the sun sets.
There's a lot of noise generated by a nearby lacrosse tournament.
The trails connect to the ballfields. Sprinklers are watering soccer fields and hoses are connected to hydrants.
The city is peaceful. No fear of crime. The economy is strong.
Pedestrians have right of way.
