11. what are serious pervasive games?

12. serious pervasive games 12 some history digging: technologized game & play architectures

13. serious pervasive games 13 serious pervasive games combine = 1) serious purpose (e.g. learning) 2) pervasive computing (e.g. mobile devices, wireless networks, sensors / actuators) 3) game design methods (e.g. rules & goals, space-time, interactions, challenges & rewards, drama, closure)

14. serious pervasive games 14 rules of play / design framework 1) the world - a place - is a gameboard 2) the game is where you are -> player constrains space-time 3) ideas come first, then co-texts & con-texts, then interaction schemes, media & technology 4) serious pervasive games have dialectics: a) they empower novel subjective experiences b) if well balanced, they are near perfect surveillance and motivation tools

54. serious pervasive games 54 next steps: MassivelyMultiplayerAudioRealityGames = 1) many simultaneous players & quests in the style of MMORPGs, but in an audioReality 2) use core functionality of cell phones: telephony! 3) add side functionality of cell phones for interaction: universal remote control / „joystick“ via phone keys 4) possibly: location based data
