Where Reality And Fiction Overlap: Alternate Reality Games A
Slide show presentation by Mela Kocher of April 20th, 2011, at the Mobile Life VNN Excellence Center in Kista, Stockholm (Sweden).
Beyond the Rift: Virtual Reality Games and the Future of Communication
This document discusses the future of virtual reality and communication. It argues that VR will transform how people interact and share experiences by making them feel truly present with others. As VR technology advances, it will allow for new forms of symbolic and abstract communication. The document also speculates that in the future, people may inhabit virtual environments in space through VR suits and use VR games to train virtual agents to take over procedural and declarative tasks, freeing up human cognition for higher-order thinking and problem solving. This could lead to the emergence of a "superorganism" where humans and virtual beings work together in a cognitive network.
Adventures in Game Animation
This document discusses trends in game animation including the rise of social, mobile, and casual games. It explores differences between film and game animation in terms of interactivity, environments, and character AI. Examples are given of notable cutscenes and cinematics. The concept of the "uncanny valley" is examined in relation to improving facial animation technology. Emerging technologies like motion capture and platforms like PlayStation Move and Kinect are discussed as ways to bring real-world movement into games. The document speculates on future directions for game animation including 3D, augmented reality, and blending virtual and real worlds.
LIFE: The Game
Originally presented at the Institute for Ethics & Emerging Technologies' "Biopolitics of Popular Culture" seminar (December 2009)
My idea for york tourism project
The document proposes creating an augmented reality mobile game similar to Pokémon Go that would feature local attractions in York, England like the city walls and Jorvik Viking Centre. Each attraction would have a mini-game playable near its location that teaches historical facts and becomes more difficult through stages, rewarding players with cosmetic avatar items for completing games at all attractions. The game aims to educate and entertain younger locals and tourists aged 17-24 who may not otherwise visit the sites.

Augmented reality (AR) has several advantages over other technologies:
1. AR uses local data that is most relevant to a person's immediate context and existence within a single city block.
2. AR views are easier for humans to digest since our brains evolved to process visual information in a heads-up display.
3. AR brings together various experts from different fields in an attempt to build unified views, which could lead to new ideas emerging.
MCLS Keynote
The document summarizes a technical, tangible, and social game called "Picture the Impossible" created by RIT's Lab for Social Computing and the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle. The game encouraged community members to come together, learn about their city through games, support local charities, and imagine possibilities through location-based games and challenges. Despite challenges like funding, partnerships, and selling sponsorships, over 2,000 players participated, sharing photos, recipes, and local history facts. The game achieved its goals of learning, exploration, giving back, and socialization.
Design with Words | Talkabot
The document discusses the history and future of human communication and interface design. It explores how communication has evolved from oral to literate forms over 150,000 years, and how modern interfaces are shifting from visual to conversational models. The document advocates for designing interactions through having interactions, ensuring interfaces reflect their role in users' lives, and developing an invisible interface through principles like relevance and clarity.

Playing the city
This document discusses how games can change the affordances and perceived uses of real-world spaces and objects. It provides examples of how parkour redefined the affordances of city rooftops and walls. Mirror's Edge and other games translated these movements into designed game spaces. Pervasive games can enable infinite affordances by allowing players to creatively interpret real locations and objects. Mobile games and augmented reality layers on phones are now able to overlay game mechanics on the real world and dynamically change what actions are possible or meaningful in different places.
Jaquizzi chapter viii
The document discusses the concept of "X-fication" or "X-ization", which refers to the transformation of a place, society, or event into something resembling the trademark offerings of company X. Specifically, it removes anything negative or unappealing and replaces it with an idealized and tourist-friendly version. Disneyfication is given as an example, referring to the transformation of places into versions resembling Disney theme parks. The document also mentions authors who have written about urban transformation and the homogenization of space that can result from such processes.
Great Character Design - Tips for Creating and Monetizing Cartoon Characters
Good character designs help to make a game look that much more interesting and sell a few more copies. But great character designs help to create huge franchises out of games, build up companies and even shape the landscape of the gaming industry. We take a look at some of the world's most famous gaming characters had created a legacy for themselves and their companies.

The document discusses features of existing skateboarding games that make them appealing. It notes that games take a realistic approach by including real-world locations like El Toro high school and by having the camera perspective look like you are looking down at your feet while skating. Including recognizable locations makes the games more engaging as players have seen these spots in videos. One game shows skating through traffic, collecting coins to progress, and the possibility of hitching onto moving cars. However, this game does not seem very fun as it is just left and right movement. The analysis indicates that realistic features like shadows are important to include. The intended audience is broad, appealing to both male and female ages 6+ who enjoy sk

This document discusses augmented reality and its potential applications. It describes how AR can overlay virtual objects and information on the real world when viewed through a device camera. Examples mentioned include viewing virtual flowers over real environments, accessing additional information about products or locations by pointing a mobile camera at them, and interacting with virtual objects that are positioned in the real world. The document suggests AR could transform many industries like marketing, gaming, education and more. It argues that AR will make static brand messages obsolete and that people's online profiles and interactions will become increasingly important.
Gaming to the Throne: Using Games to Engage Tourists
The document discusses games and gamification in the context of tourism. It provides examples of games that have been used to encourage tourism exploration, such as a scavenger hunt game in Rochester using text messaging clues. The document also discusses an augmented reality game called Ingress that gets players to explore cities by claiming portals located around the world. It notes that games can make destinations more interesting for tourists and get them exploring parts of cities off the beaten path.

Presentation game
This document discusses the potential future of interactive gaming technologies and their impact on perceptions of identity and reality. It outlines how gaming is advancing towards fully immersive virtual worlds where players can customize their avatar, environment, and social interactions. Technologies like Project Natal, holodecks, and brain-computer interfaces could allow players to navigate games using their own movements and thoughts. There is a risk that players may come to confuse the virtual world with reality or rely solely on online interactions. Advancements in gaming, social media, and online shopping could significantly change how people engage socially and experience the world.
Game Design & the City @ Best Scene in Town
This presentation was part of my contribution to the Best Scene in Town workshop on 14 April 2010 at the Waag Society. In it, I describe three scenarios for the development of games into the near future. I also briefly discuss some key concepts in the field of game design. The goal of this presentation was to inspire and to provoke, as well as provide some handholds for participants to use in their own subsequent work.

Web Next
The document discusses potential future directions for web pages, including making them more spatial and three-dimensional. It presents examples of how web pages could be immersive environments for browsing, shopping, editing, gaming, collaboration and education. Key applications mentioned include using virtual and augmented reality to make pages feel more like 3D spaces where users can navigate and interact visually, auditorily and kinetically. The document suggests these types of "spatial websites" could be built using technologies like WebGL, WebAssembly, Unity and WebXR.
1st Year Game Design Introduction To Game Interface Design
This document provides an overview of game design concepts including interface design, color theory, semiotics, literacy, and cultural influences on design. It discusses designing menus, heads-up displays, using color to identify teams, highlight items, set mood, and convey information. Semiotics is defined as interpreting meaning from various media like art, music, and fashion. Literacy involves understanding different domains like newspapers versus essays each with their own rules. Game design communicates to players through visual style and cultural associations.

The document summarizes the development of Coco VR, a virtual reality experience based on the Disney-Pixar film Coco. Key goals were to recreate Pixar-quality environments and animation in VR and enable a social, multi-user experience. Major challenges included ingesting complex film assets, optimizing textures and projections, implementing locomotion between environments, and bringing animated characters to life. The experience was successfully built over one year with locations, characters, and social features like photo-taking and character mimicry. Lessons were learned around locomotion and finalizing core systems earlier.

Video game proposal
The document proposes a real-time strategy video game called "Last Bastion" set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. The player would lead survivors to rebuild civilization by scavenging resources, expanding their base, developing technology, and defending against raiders and mutants. The target audience is ages 16-25 of all genders, as research shows more women now play violent games. The game would require strategic thinking and quick reactions to opponents. Lessons from other successful RTS games will be researched to determine design elements to include.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
