Heifer Virtual Village: Nepal is browser-based real-time 3D simulation where the player's character must navigate a virtual Nepalese environment, interact with other characters in the village, and correctly complete tasks associated with the game's goal. In this Serious Game For Change you find yourself in a the simulated village where a few are prosperous, but most struggle with hunger and poverty. The player is Esha, a young girl from a poor family. Your mother's dearest wish is to somehow acquire a goat. A goat would provide your family with milk and the means of making money, which would allow Esha to go to school. Acquiring micro-loans and building animal pens are some of the activities the player engages in while playing the game. By demonstrating some of these activities in an online virtual world, Heifer hopes that the spirit of goodwill that ripples through communities as animals are passed on, will also be spread to some degree digitally.
On July 9, 2013, local Red Cross workers as well as workers with National Headquarters and the Toyota Production System Support Center participated in a simulation to test the new Red Cross volunteer intake protocol following disasters. This project will make the registration process more efficient and convenient for event-based volunteers who want help but do not have previous Red Cross training.

This is another film simulation, here mimicking a yellowed old film with slightly reduced contrast.
Again, the basic adjustments are as follows:
1) Slightly blurring the original image.
2) Contrast reduction through curves. Specifically, raising the black point, compressing the shadows as well as the highlights.
3) Desaturation.
4) Color manipulation through curves. I added yellows in the highlights and a slight magenta bias in the shadows. Midtones are a tad warmer.
5) An overall yellow filter.
6) Grain.
Above you see a Before and After. Please view in high-res to see the film detail:
