“…Interest in supporting the design process is not new: previous HCI research has contributed software that enables authors to easily translate an experience concept into an end-product for users to access on-location through their mobile device, e.g. Hull et al (2004) and Wetzel et al (2012). However, predicting the ways in which users will act in the real world is not trivial, and research has shown that designs of location-based experiences rarely play out as expected (Weal et al 2006).…”

HCI is a multidisciplinary field focused on human aspects of the development of computer technology. As computer-based technology becomes increasingly pervasive -not just in developed countries, but worldwide -the need to take a human-centered approach in the design and development of this technology becomes ever more important. For roughly 30 years now, researchers and practitioners in computational and behavioral sciences have worked to identify theory and practice that influences the direction of these technologies, and this diverse work makes up the field of human-computer interaction. Broadly speaking it includes the study of what technology might be able to do for people and how people might interact with the technology. The HCI series publishes books that advance the science and technology of developing systems which are both effective and satisfying for people in a wide variety of contexts. Titles focus on theoretical perspectives (such as formal approaches drawn from a variety of behavioral sciences), practical approaches (such as the techniques for effectively integrating user needs in system development), and social issues (such as the determinants of utility, usability and acceptability).

Abstract. The development of new forms of teaching is challenging and can be considered complex to implement. One of the existing tools that has the potential to meet this need is the location-based mobile games, since it has the characteristics of an entertainment activity, facilitating the learning process. This article conceived an authoring tool titled ALCity (Locative Adventures in the City), which allows teachers to design location-based mobile games with the integration of augmented reality feature to support the teaching and learning process. The usability of the designed authoring tool was evaluated by a set of experienced teachers. From this evaluation, it was observed that ALCity is able to efficiently assist the teaching process.Resumo. O desenvolvimento de novas formas de ensinoé algo desafiador, podendo ser considerado complexo de ser implementado. Uma das ferramentas existentes que possui o potencial para suprir tal necessidadeé o jogo móvel baseado em localização (JMBL), pois tem como característica ser uma atividade de entretenimento, facilitando assim o processo de aprendizado. Este artigo concebeu uma ferramenta de autoria intitulada ALCity (Locative Adventures in the City), que permite professores desenvolverem JMBLs com a integração do recurso de realidade aumentada, com o propósito de apoiar o processo de ensino e aprendizado. A usabilidade da ferramenta de autoria concebida foi avaliada por um conjunto de professores experientes. A partir desta avaliação, observou-se que a ALCity consegue, de forma eficiente, auxiliar o processo de ensino. IntroduçãoAtualmente, os jogos digitais são uma tecnologia cada vez mais presente em nosso cotidiano, que oferecem uma atividade lúdica capaz de capturar nossa atenção por um longo tempo. Com os avanços de hardware e software dos dispositivos móveis, houve-se a potencialização do seu uso como uma plataforma para jogos digitais, onde possibilitam uma interação com o usuário bastante intuitiva, oferecendo ainda uma serie de sensores capazes de reconhecer o contexto em que o usuário está inserido, como localização, altitude, velocidade, temperatura, etc.Essas características dos dispositivos móveis, possibilitaram o surgimento de uma classe especial de jogos digitais, denominada Jogos Móveis Baseados em Localização (JMBLs). Estes são uma subclasse dos jogos pervasivos, onde a localização do jogador

“…The architecture is evaluated through an Android application, displaying performance on service establishment and message delivery time. Wetzel, Blum and Oppermann [16] present a location-based game called Tidy City, allowing inhabitants and tourists to explore a city by the use of an location-dependent application. A hybrid approach of both web-based interfaces and mobile tools are used in creating service.…”

In this paper we present a case study of a location-dependent service, aimed for tourists. Two applications are developed, one based on native technologies, the other on HTML5 and related frameworks. We provide implementation details and compare the different solutions in terms of location support, compliance with required features, and cross-platform functionality. Our experiments show that web-based approaches may lead to significant benefits over using native technologies; both versions of the application displayed comparable location support and compliance with required features, while the web version superseded its native counterpart in cross-platform functionality.
