Urban Social Gaming Pitch
0 likes151 views
This document discusses urban social gaming and proposes a new type of location-based game platform. It defines what is and is not considered urban social gaming currently. It then proposes a geolocated game platform with simple geometric rules that uses cloud computing and real-time player location information from devices to render the game visually. An example game discussed is capture the flag, which could use Delaunay triangulation of player groups and configurable rules. The objective is to create a buzz around this platform and sell it to a major social network company.

- 3. State of the Art Lets Play! Urban Dictionnary: Hummm Urban Social Gaming A Revisited Standard State of the Art What is currently USG! Role playing games with rules, characters, items, etc. played on a long time period. Adding & using augmented reality contents and feedback from the device sensors. Games needing a lot of interactions with the device user interface. What is not actually USG! Simple like the games you were playing in the recreation areas when you were child and in a limited times, with a real physical dynamics. The game get you moving. The game reconnect people to the places they inhabit! What we propose! A geolocalization game platform, cloud computing arbited, with simple geometric rules & highly con鍖gurable. We do not care about sensors, augmented reality, touch interaction, etc.. We only care about the capability of the device, to process in real time, localisation informations coming from all the players, for the visual rendering and orientation of the game. Y.

Capture the Flag Concept play: Groups of Delaunay triangulation, playing against each others Some Basic Rules Green triangle bigger than Red. Red triangle keep the 鍖ag. Red triangle inside than Green.The 3 Red players leave the game. Y. Richard CRIC Brainstorming 5 / 6
- 6. State of the Art Lets Play! Urban Dictionnary: Hummm Urban Social Gaming A Revisited Standard Hummm Seems too simple, too easy Why you cant 鍖nd it on the net? Why it is not yet available? Would you play??? Possibilities No space limitation, neither locomotion modes Lost device signal : not an issue & can be integrated as a strategy Make the geometric rules designable & con鍖gurable Make the game bankable for the winning team (e.g. 1 euro per player to join the game) Short term Objective Make a Buzz & Sell the platform to a Major Social Network company.
