2. Outline • Introduction: Pervasiveness + RFID • An experiment in pervasive game design • Discussion

3. Outline Introduction: Pervasiveness + RFID An experiment in pervasive game design Discussion

4. Pervasive games: the play on double meaning To give a second meaning to places, people, objects To give a second meaning to people status To give a second meaning to moves, gestures What does it mean in terms of game design, interface design, and context design?

5. Pervasive games: RFID specific touch

7. The Museum of Arts and Crafts • Their mission: • To teach about the history of science • To promote science as a whole • To create a community of people around a scientific heritage • Their patrimony: • Thematic collections in separate halls of exhibition • Historical artifacts that visitors cannot manipulate

8. Game play of the Secrets of the Museum

9. PLUG specific design

11. Discussion: towards pervasive game design methodology • 1 - interacting with contents • 2 - interacting with people • 3 - converting physical movements into game movements • 4 - converting physical gestures into game actions

12. (1) Design options: interacting with contents To writing interaction From reading To unfaithful and divergent From faithful and related contents

13. (2) Design options: interacting with people close Co-presence distant autonomous dependant Interaction

14. (3) Design Options: converting physical movements into game movements

15. (4)Design Options: converting physical gestures into game actions • The player • is turned into a mouse that moves in space: in PLUG traces of players’ passage to a display // hints • is turned into “pliers” that pick, move and drop: in PLUG moving virtual playing cards around • captures and records contents or events (discreet or continuous) in PLUG: archiving a collection in the phone • augments the contents / erases (removes the contents) on the display (not explored in PLUG)
