Ubicomp 2006 • “Hitchers” are created and released into the wild by players and • try to find their way home • reach a specific destination • carry out a mission (similar to Gopher) • Ex: what is good to eat near here? • Or just share a journey with a stranger (hitchhiking)

  15. Feeding Yoshi game • M. Bell, M. Chalmers, L. Barkhuus, M. Hall, S. Sherwood, P. Tennent, B. Brown, D. Rowland, S. Benford, A. Hampshire, M. Capra. Interweaving Mobile Games With Everyday Life.

  16. City Explorer Choose location Occupy Objects Validate • S. Matyas. Playful Geospatial Data Acquisition by Location-based Gaming Communities, IJVR 2007 • S. Matyas, H. Mitarai, M. Kamata. Designing Location-based Mobile Games with a Purpose – Collecting Geospatial Data with CityExplorer, ACE 2008 • Played like a Carcassonne board game • The map is divided into several Regions • At the beginning, the whole map is “hidden” • Before each round, every player choose several kinds of real world objects • e.g. player A chooses “bar & church”; player B chooses ”garden & restaurant” • Players occupy objects by placing one “token” on each • e.g. put one token to locate one bar in the real world • Tokens can be only placed on locations of chosen object categories • At the end of each round, who holds the majority of game tokens in each Region occupy the region and gets points

  17. City Explorer (cont’) • No Assignment • Players tag according to Carcassonne rules • In IJVR 2007, the author also 1discusses critical elements of location-based games, provided a framework, and take GeoTicTacToe and CityPoker as case studies
