foreign exchange "gaming"
28 November 2007

a set of elaborate visual metaphors of the Foreign Exchange (Forex) trading to "present Forex data in a simplified & user-friendly manner that makes it accessible to ordinary users". the ultimate goal is to allow users to practice play, or deposit funds for real money trading.
in "Forex Marathon", users can pick a currency & have it compete in a foot race against other (hopefully weaker) currencies. in "Globe Trader", the trading portfolio is managed by forging relations with other currencies on the map of the world. in "Forex Match" 2 currencies go one-on-one in a tug of rope against each other.
