Abstract

In Game As Life --- Life As Game (GALLAG), ubiquitous computing and personally-tailored game scenarios integrate activities across the virtual and physical domains to further extend emerging avant-garde "real-life games" that are coordinated by digital means to blur digital-physical-social barriers. Influences and activities in GALLAG game scenarios affect real life and vice versa. To realize this, we are using several methods of experience and behavioral assessment, as well as environmental, contextual and physiological sensors, in conjunction with participatory design approaches that include end-user-programming. This agenda empowers users to create their own synergies between their on-line activities to help them achieve their personal realworld aspirations. Ultimately GALLAG is leading to "Life Long Games" that provide persistent, supportive, and actualizing experiences.

Pervasive learning games: explorations of hybrid educational gamescapes
Symposium: Video games: Issues in research and learning, part 2

Pervasive gaming has tremendous potential as a learning tool and represents an interesting development in the field of video games and education. The literature surrounding video games and education is vast: For more than 20 years, educationalists have ...
The art of game-mastering pervasive games
ACE '08: Proceedings of the 2008 International Conference on Advances in Computer Entertainment Technology

Pervasive Games can benefit greatly from being game-mastered rather than fully automatic. However, game-mastering pervasive games is not a simple task neither from a technical nor a game design perspective.

In this article we discuss some of the core ...
