One of the Ultrabook's coolest functionalities is that it can turn from a laptop into a tablet just by flipping back the keyboard. In a project designed especially for the device, gaming design studio Hide&Seek, in collaboration with Kill Screen, have created a video game called Terra that celebrates this convertable feature and uses it to compose a game with two unique playing modes.In an innovative mix of gaming platforms and styles, Hide&Seek combine the touchscreen functionality of tablets with the keyboard-driven interactivity of PC gaming, giving players the best of both worlds. For the tablet mode of the game, the Ultrabook's touchscreen allows you to terraform a mountain range. Once you've created your terrain, you flip out the keyboard and your perspective flips, too—suddenly you're on the mountainside mowing the grass that's sprung up, scoring points for the type and length of grass you cut. But work quickly, because time is of the essence.
