Sadly I had previous engagements in the afternoon and could only visit half the day. But on the few hours I was there I heard interesting things.

A lot of what was presented is things we work on in the Mobile Life Centre, but also some new insight into what others are up to. Among the “new stuff” I found Mike Kuniavsky’s talk on “the Internet of people: integrating Internet of Things technologies is not a technical problem” the most interesting. He focused on IoT not being about connecting machines, but about finding what people are interested in and among his ideas was a focus on services, not machines. In his example he mentioned how people visit services from multiple different machines, but want to find a similar experience in all of them. The loyalty is to the service, not to the artefact. It doesn’t matter if you’re at your phone, your laptop or your TV; the service is viewed as the same entity in all of them.

Now, lets just see how to connect this to our view of pervasive gaming…

I promised the participants to publish my slides, and here they are. I’ve just moved them into the web without redesigning them, meaning some of the translation doesn’t work perfectly, especially ther seem to be a lot of whitespace missing, but I think you’ll survive anyway :-)

Oh, and it’s in Swedish…

 Prolog Making a LARP is to Design ans Activity (to create an Experience)
