Welcome,
this is the future home of the Illinois Route 66 Road Trip, the thesis project of Peter Infelise. The expected completion of the final project is Spring of '09. In the meantime, the purpose of this site is to act as a digital journal to document the process and creation of the project. Feel free to check back for updates and info, or read about the project below.

Illinois Route 66 Road Trip (IL-66 Road Trip) is an interactive video-driven user experience that allows users to explore historical Route 66 within the state of Illinois.
IL-66 Road Trip is innovative, in that it is a video experience that is truly interactive. Unlike the abundance of static Route 66 related websites, IL-66 Road Trip offers the user the ability to take a video road trip, along the way the user can interact with many attractions, points of interest, and landmarks to uncover historical facts.
The user will also experience a passage of time while embarking on the road trip. The IL-66 Road Trip videos will be composited digital matte paintings depicting towns and cities along the route beginning in Chicago in 1927, when Route 66 was born, to the present day along the shore of the mighty Mississippi river.
