Augmented Reality
Augmented reality is a common feature of pervasive games whereby the real world is integrated in some way with game elements. Pervasive games typically utilize player location information from GPS and may also include near field sensor functions. For example, a mobile device may shake when you approach other players in the real world.In some cases, pervasive games have been criticized as dangerous or annoying as they encourage distracted use of mobile devices in public spaces. Other observers have praised them for encouraging video game enthusiasts to venture into the real world.| Overview: Pervasive Game | ||
