About Boxed Pervasive Games
Boxed Pervasive Games are are lego box approach to pervasive games. Each box contains the game, hardware needed to run the game, and tools to configure or rebuild the game. The idea is that players can buy the box, run the game, and build their own games. Currently two different boxes as well as a web-based authoring tool are beeing developed.
Boxed Pervasive Games are a research project. We are focussing on the following research questions:
- How can we package pervasive games to support a retail business model?
- What kinds of pervasive games are suited for this model?
- How can we foster a community that can start to build their own pervasive games?
Boxed Pervasive Games are part of IPerG - the Integrated Project on Pervasive Gaming. IPerG is partially funded by the European Commission through the IST programme (FP6004457).
