Game Web Research at the UCI Game Lab Walt Scacchi and California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2)

Game Web as Culture and Technology Games as immersive, experiential literary form -- game play as emergent narrative Gaming as rapidly growing global industry “Modding” and making games as practice- based learning and career development Game-based virtual worlds as work spaces Games as new media and cultural form Game culture as social movement

Open Source Game Software Development The most successful OSSD projects obtain sustained exponential growth in their innovation frontier. Computer game software development is the #1 application area (and #2 overall) for Open Source Software development (OSSD) projects. –Growing number of commercial computer games now ship with tools for creating OSS game “mods” Future game and Web 3.0 development will increasingly depend on global OSSD practices and components.

Science Learning Games (SLG) for Informal Science Education Physical interaction quest game: DinoQuest at the Discovery Science Center (Santa Ana, CA) – Life-size dinosaurs (T. Rex, Argentinosaursus) – Family-based problem-solving and collective learning in physical environment – Game progress tracked via user-controlled IR wand that activates embedded sensor net Web-based SLG: DinoQuest Online – Addresses CA science education standards for K-6 grades – Interoperates with DinoQuest – Designed for internationalization – Developed by UCI GameLab DSC planning new SLG exhibits through 2010 – $60M investment planned

DinoQuest Online

DSC+UCI working to develop network of SLG-based science centers and exhibits Tier 1: Individual player connection: your Internet connection at home. Tier 2: Local institutional connection: library, science center, school. Tier 3: Regional science center provides local exhibit content connected online. Tier 4: “Gateway” science centers provide open interfaces and content. Tier 5: Science Center Grid: Massive Multiplayer Online Science Learning Games DinoQuest Web 3.0 System Tier 4 Tier 2Tier 1 Tier 3 Tier 5

Persistent Collaborative Work in a Virtual World People meeting and working together through a persistent online information infrastructure Provide new ways of working together Provide new concepts, techniques, and tools for collective action/work spanning physical-virtual Confront uncertainties of sustained collaboration with limited/no face-to-face interaction Develop or invent innovative solutions
