Abstract

The paper introduces four axes of pervasive gaming (PG): mobility, distribution, persistence, and transmediality. Further, it describes and analyses three key units of PG (rules, entities, and mechanics) as well as discusses the role of space in PG by differentiating between tangible space, information embedded space, and accessibility space.

Categories and Subject Descriptors: H.5.1 [Multimedia Information Systems]: Artificial, augmented, and virtual realities.

General Terms: Performance, Human Factors, Theory.

In this article we attempt to describe and analyze the formalisms of pervasive games and pervasive gaming (PG). As the title indicates, PG consists of atomic entities that nevertheless merge into a molecular structure that exhibits emergent features ...
Pervasive game flow: understanding player enjoyment in pervasive gaming
Interactive entertainment

Player enjoyment is perhaps the most important issue in successful game design, but so far it has not been addressed in the area of pervasive games. Departing from the general gameflow model, this article presents an initial outline for a new model of ...
