“…We therefore recommend that piggybacking AR apps give participants personalization options and mementos that last beyond the end of the immediate experience. This aligns with past work about how physical artifacts generated during computer-mediated play are valued after play [66] and how digital artifacts from gameplay experiences can have lasting value [69]. In future iterations, Mindful Garden could let participants choose their own flowers and activate only in specific locations, Compurrsers could allow people to pick instruments and background music that reflect the cat's mood, and Petpet could offer petpet avatars that resemble the live dogs.…”

Technology, especially the smartphone, is villainized for taking meaning and time away from in-person interactions and secluding people into "digital bubbles". We believe this is not an intrinsic property of digital gadgets, but evidence of a lack of imagination in technology design. Leveraging augmented reality (AR) toward this end allows us to create experiences for multiple people, their pets, and their environments. In this work, we explore the design of AR technology that "piggybacks" on everyday leisure to foster co-located interactions among close ties (with other people and pets). We designed, developed, and deployed three such AR applications, and evaluated them through a 41-participant and 19-pet user study. We gained key insights about the ability of AR to spur and enrich interaction in new channels, the importance of customization, and the challenges of designing for the physical aspects of AR devices (e.g., holding smartphones). These insights guide design implications for the novel research space of co-located AR.

“…Notably, each game session yields a quilt that is comprised of traces of the game session-a tangible memento. This is comparable to the work of Sullivan et al, who used a Loom to interact with a game while fabricating a tangible memento of the game [92]. Eickhoff et al presented "Destructive Games" using a laser cutter [29].…”

Hybrid board games (HBGs) augment their analog origins digitally (e.g., through apps) and are an increasingly popular pastime activity. Continuous world and character development and customization, known to facilitate engagement in video games, remain rare in HBGs. If present, they happen digitally or imaginarily, often leaving physical aspects generic. We developed DungeonMaker, a fabrication-augmented HBG bridging physical and digital game elements: 1) the setup narrates a story and projects a digital game board onto a laser cutter; 2) DungeonMaker assesses player-crafted artifacts; 3) DungeonMaker's modified laser head senses and moves player-and non-player figures, and 4) can physically damage figures. An evaluation (𝑛 = 4 × 3) indicated that DungeonMaker provides an engaging experience, may support players' connection to their figures, and potentially spark novices' interest in fabrication. DungeonMaker provides a rich constellation to play HBGs by blending aspects of craft and automation to couple the physical and digital elements of an HBG tightly.

“…Hypertext games typically employ content-based morality rather than systemic and procedural morality systems, which is our focus in this paper. Other games use alternate controllers as an added dimension for player choices; work by Sullivan et al (Sullivan et al 2018) showcases thread-cutting as a mechanic contributing to player agency.…”

Modeling Morality-Based Argumentation for Believable Game Characters: A Design Postmortem

An ability to morally reason is crucial to the believability of many fictional characters, from Jane Austen’s heroines to the denizens of The Good Place. These works often foreground the complexity of moral questions and the circumstances un- der which different forms of behavior might be justified. Morality is also foregrounded in many games, from Black and White to Mass Effect 3. Yet, most in-game characters judge other characters (or the player) based on a single reputation scale or binary values of right and wrong. There has been little exploration in games of the relationship between char- acter values and beliefs and moral reasoning. In keeping with this year’s conference theme, “Oh the Humanity,” this design postmortem paper describes the design and development of Argument Box, a model of moral argumentation and reason- ing based on Lakoff’s metaphor theory of moral politics. We describe our design approach, iterations, and authoring con- cerns — covering what went right and wrong in our attempts to model morality-based argumentation for believable game characters.
