“…Science Fiction can supply enchanted blueprints, "hieroglyphs of the future": "a plausible, fully thought-out picture of an alternate reality in which some sort of compelling innovation has taken place." 26 I will apply Stephenson's perspective on Science Fiction to other forms of artistic expression, namely the architecture and attractions of Las Vegas.…”

“…Too literal replication of legacy media formats-audio tours, pamphlet of text -with too little interaction." 26 In short, augmented reality applications are suffering from a misguided realization of the unique materiality of augmented reality-its opportunities and risks. This misguided materialization of augmented reality applications might, in part, be traced back to the underlying technology used to create most spatialized interactive experiences-augmented reality camera tracking.…”

“…The exhibition made (and is still making) an ambitious attempt to exhibit the complete history of computer games from the 1960s to the present in the form of 120 mostly playable artifacts. 26 Game On is a long-lived exhibition project that continues to tour the world. Thereby it is interesting to observe that the format of the traveling exhibition has changed not only the museum context but also the exhibition itself again and again: "Despite being developed as an art and design exhibition for the Barbican contemporary gallery spaces, as the tour developed Game On was embraced more by the science museum sector that not only had the galleries to accommodate such a vast exhibition but were also less daunted by the exhibition's technological demands.…”

“…28 This entry of video games into important museums continues, e.g., with the exhibition Videogames: Design/ Play/Disrupt at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London; in this case, however, again only as a temporary special exhibition (2018/2019). 26 In a revised version of the exhibition entitled Game On 2.0 (2010), the number of games even increased to 150. A first look at the various projects reveals two thematic focal points, two types of exhibitions: Most projects are general (or panoramic) exhibitions on the technological history of video games.…”

“…Sousa finds that the creative meld of semiotic meaning, mechanical significance, and aesthetic experience is the driver for innovation in modern dice games and that "successful applications of dice are the result of mixing their material dimensions with mechanisms that build engaging game experiences." 26 The section "Pieces," and with it, this anthology, concludes with something that has been foreshadowed throughout-the complete dematerialization of the playful material in the digital game. With "Immateriality and Immortality: Digital Toys in Video Games," Emma Reay takes the puzzle-platform game UNRAVEL as a case study to explore how the "haptic-panoptic" quality of digital toys can locate players in the liminal space between material reality and immaterial imaginings.…”

HANNS CHRISTIAN SCHMIDT/RAVEN RUSCHSince the beginnings of human civilization, game culture and material culture have been closely linked. In the act of free play-paidia, according to Caillois 1 -children, as well as adults, transform simple objects into multifaceted toys in an almost magical way. Analog forms of rule-based play-ludus 2 -would hardly be conceivable without dice, cards, and game boards. Digital play is no less suffused with materiality: Games are not only mediated by technical interfaces, which we access via hardware and tangible peripherals. They are also subject to material hybridization, paratextual framing, and attempts of dematerialization and rematerialization. Of course, these contentious processes do not only affect digital games. For over three decades, they have marked the marginalization of industrial methods and modes in favor of digital ones, in production and consumption, in work and culture-via buzzwords and practices such as 'ubiquitous computing,' 'augmented reality,' and more recently, to an increasing extent, 'metaverse.' 3 1 Caillois, Roger: Man, Play and Games, Urbana: University of Illinois Press 2001 (*1958), p. 13. 2 Ibid. 3 All three concepts originated in the pioneering days of digital networking, around 1990, which also saw the emergence of the World Wide Web. Mark Weiser coined the term 'ubiquitous computing' that today we associate with the 'Internet of Things' (IoT) already in 1988. Four years later, Thomas Caudell, for the first time, described the fusion of the real and the virtual as 'augmented reality.' In the same year, 1992, Neal Stephenson published his novel Snow Crash, in which he evoked a virtual reality variant of such a fusion as the 'metaverse.'-For 'ubiquitous computing' see Weiser,

The use of modern board games has been growing last years in education, research, and mental health attendance. Often one professional selects games by his/her criteria depending on his/her objective with them. We evaluated the cognitive processes inherent to each modern board game to obtain a consensus of the cognitive profile of each. We explain how to choose the most suitable board games in future interventions.Fifteen education, mental health, and neuroscience research professionals with board games experience participated in an online assessment of 27 modern board games.Experts received a virtual neuroeducation formation and played the games selection for further analysis. Participants answered a Likert scale about 12 cognitive processes activated with each game. All modern board games obtained a high level of agreement (ICC>.75). Besides, most cognitive processes reached a high agreement, except for cognitive flexibility and problem-solving (moderate range; .5>ICC>.75). Differentiated cognitive profiles have been obtained for each game, some of which could work on more than one cognitive domain at a time. Finally, initial evidence about which board game mechanisms activates with cognitive domain was found. To conclude, this expert consensus methodology became a useful tool for assessing the cognitive profile behind modern board and card games. The results obtained may facilitate the choice of games to be used in future studies depending on the objective cognitive domain to be trained under a criterion based on the observations of a group of experts and not just the researcher's individual criteria.
