Durch die Verfügbarkeit mobiler leistungsstarker Computer erlangen Mobile Augmented Reality Games eine zunehmende Verbreitung. Augmented Reality ist eine Technologie, die es ermöglicht die reale Umgebung mit virtuellen Objekten und Spielartefakten zu kombinieren. Der Spieler nimmt dabei sowohl die reale Umgebung als auch die virtuelle Spielewelt wahr. Im Unterschied zur Virtual Reality bleibt die reale Umgebung erhalten und wird in das Spiel einbezogen. Die Veranstaltung führt in Augmented Reality ein und stellt verschiedene mobile und pervasive Augmented Reality Games vor.
Irma Lindt beginnt den Vortrag mit einer Einführung in die Konzepte des Pervasive Computings und der Pervasive Games. Dabei wird das Spiel “Epidemic Menace” (http://www.epidemic-menace.de) im Detail vorgestellt.
Daniel Wagner spricht danach über Mobile Augmented Reality mit Schwerpunkt auf Mobiltelephone. Die Geschichte dieser Technology, sowie der aktuellen Stand der Technik und zukünftige Marktchancen werden analysiert.
