Designing Mobility: Pervasiveness as the Enchanting Tool of Mobility

Abstract

PLUG -Play Ubiquitous Games -, is a research project that deployed a fully distributed RFID architecture in the Museum of Arts and Crafts in Paris. A pervasive game was designed: "Plug: the Secrets of the Museum" (PSM) where players had to find virtual representations of the Museum artifacts, scatter them around or tidy them in the right spots, or swap them with other players. The analysis of the players' feed back showed that three main features characterize mobility when it is connected to pervasiveness. First, mobility appears as a way to read and collect information. Second, it is a tool to virtually mark the environment and the artifacts. Moving can be akin to "writing" a new scenario. Third, people become part of the network propagating and refreshing information not only on their mobiles but also on the RFID displays.

RFID-based Distributed Shared Memory for Pervasive Games

New Perspective of Korean Social Cultural Diversity and Cultural Development: Protection and Inheritance of Folk Custom and Intangible Cultural Heritage

“…Though Korean Gangneung Danoje Festival is similar to Chinese Dragon Boat Festival and the festival is of certain possibility being transmitted from China at the earliest, Korean Gangneung Danoje Festival is considered as the festival of Gangneung people actually if we analyze in the aspect of celebration ceremony. Gangneung people regard the mythological figures who they believe in as the sacrificing objects; moreover, the etiquette of the sacrifice has distinct local features of Gangneung; scenery and entertainment in the festival, especially, can reflect the cultural deposits of Gangneung people which have been inherited for generations [14][15][16].…”
