“…Pervasive games are entwined with daily life, and are most often played in locations that provide unexpected interactions especially with bystanders [37]. While pervasive or other kinds of displays located or situated in urban environments can provide a window on the world [21,34] to blend the physical and the virtual world [14], smooth attention displacement between the two can be a challenge if the window on the world is not truly mobile, as with smart phones or other portable devices. The busyness, and other qualities of the locations where the VEs are accessed, may affect the gameplay.…”

Realistic 3D virtual environments, such as existing city models, have the potential to be used in pervasive games as a passageway between physical and virtual. Smooth attention displacement and transitions between these two realities are largely unexplored in the context of pervasive gameplay. We conducted two field trials using a pervasive live action role playing game to study the effect moving between the virtual and the physical has on co-presence and memorability. Although differences in co-presence during gameplay were small, they highlight the subtleties in the social structuring of pervasive gameplay. Spatial similarity between the physical and virtual environments made the 3D virtual environments more memorable. We identify two important issues to consider in embedding virtual environments into pervasive games: structuring of social interactions and the spatial realism of the VEs.
