  1. Massively multiplayer development of free/open source software MMOGs Walt Scacchi Institute for Software Research Game Culture and Technology Lab UCIrvine http://www.ics.uci.edu/~wscacchi wscacchi@uci.edu

  2. Game Modding via Open Source Software Development

  3. Science Learning Games • Physical interaction quest environment: DinoQuest for Discovery Science Center • Life-size dinosaurs (e.g.,120’ Argentinosaurus, 30’ T. Rex) • Gesture-based, embedded electronic media activation (via user IR wand) • Online science games: DinoQuest Online • Addressing CA science education standards for K-6 • Content and API-level interoperation with DinoQuest • DSC Goal: migrate to MMOSLG • DSC planning new MMOSLG exhibits through 2010 • DSC developing network of three more DSCs (Korea, Turkey, Irvine)

  4. MMOSLG Research Opportunities • Massive Game Grid network • Linking game labs, science centers, libraries, etc. • Creating game-based cyberinfrastructure (i.e.,national R&D testbed) for social, humanistic, artistic, and technological research • Developing the Web 3.0 – the Game Web • Game Web application areas • Massively multiplayer sci-tech art/performance spaces • Collaborative open content education & training • Stadium-area network games • Distributed systems/software development observatories • etc.
