SoundPark: a mixed reality ubiquitous game, audio based

The goal :

A team collects sounds spread in the Jane Mance park in Montreal The winner is the first team who gathers the complete assembling Have fun (researchers had fun !)

Two types of players :

Scouts are clue discoverers, Clues provide hints to get piece of sounds Hunters are sound catchers, guided by scout’ indications, they bring

sounds back to their home base

They play in a real world and evolve in a 3D audio virtual

world

Public is able to watch the game session as a 3D world on a PC

uGASP Server : Service/Component Architecture

• riented

uGASP server is SCA

compliant : OSGi based, that means it is implemented as a set of components

OSGi bundles can be

dynamically loaded using

SoundPark project Conclusion

SoundPark has been issued in three months

Resources : 10,5 man.month full time

SoundPark is a proof of concept of :

what an ubiquitous computing architecture can be right now

using off-the-shelf components

what a mixed reality ubiquitous game can be today

Challenge : be a real game with hundreds of players

The Musée des Arts et Métiers

Mission:

teach the history of science and innovations (edu team) promote science as a whole create a community of people around a scientific

heritage

Patrimony:

Historical artifacts that visitors can’t manipulate

Goals of PLUG

To experiment ubiquitous games and their

architecture

To define new ways to interact with museums

and their content

To study acceptance of ubiquitous games and

associated technology 27 months, R&D project, started January 2008

PLUG: Reconsidering RFID

Challenge

To augment reality: add contents, create new links

between places, people, artifacts

To foster new forms of interactions between

people

To invent a new technical architecture

Conclusion

and visitors enjoyed… Ubiquitous passive RFID based architecture + NFC enabled devices + game strategy + specific context Revealing and fostering social interactions

SEMpIA

PLUG the Paris Overnight University

Main Features :

More teaching related to history of sciences and technologies (a

weakness of the first game… find the right tradeoff/balance with game)

Content centric Quest or Tresor Hunt oriented Non player characters to enhance immersion and provide atmosphere

(players are under cover agents)… Flow oriented approach vs magic circle approach

Gameplay is enriched with Affective Computing features Players are monitored (how they follow the game design rules and how

they can be helped)

i-Phone based and RFID based uGASP middleware based

Game states consider :

–

Socialization

–

Race condition

–

Progression

–

Physical and Emotional state

Game states

Approach : Define steady state values and thresholds – A priori – Monitor and ajust values Change Gameplay if needed, Change Game Design if required Graphic of how the player progress and value analysis

And U-cities ?

Lets present some more projects !

FireMen rescue inside buildings (SURPAT) Electric Car Recharging Cloud Computing for MMO (PLAYONLINE)

SEMpIA

SURPAT : Background - Application Context

Disasters show a great potential of destruction Lost of Lifes and Goods… potential Lost of

Rescuers

Fire in the lunneville Castle

SEMpIA

SURPAT : Background –Urgency Plan

An urgency plan is given to the firefighters

Keys of our solution

WSN :

6lowpan over 802.15.4 Fault tolerant and adaptative routing Safe implementation Reliable & Trustable network Distributed Memory vs REST/SOA application layer

Localization/Identification of rescuers and goods : active

RFID based solution

Pervasive Information System All are building blocks of Ubiquitous Computing that can be

reused for U-cities

20/07/2010 37

SEMpIA

Buildings are reduced town Same problems but you have to scale :

from thousands of sensors to millions of sensors From thousands of people to millions of people

More complex interactions Social Aspects have to be taken into account

From buildings to towns

Conclusion (1) : "U-SU" project or the U-Stanford University

Stanford University is a reduced city All skills exist :

Computer Science research Electronics Humanities : Affordance/Acceptance Design New Energies

Leaders drive the business and the standards Downgrade the goals :

U-CSSU (U-Computer Science of Stanford U), a U-building project U-SFMOMA

Rise Foundings, how ?
