Players are not given the identities of their victims\, o nly the knowledge that they are and must remain in the game area.

According to world-renowned game designer Jane McGonigal\, the reason for this mass exodus to virtual worlds is that vi deogames are increasingly fulfilling genuine human needs. In this ground breaking exploration of the power and future of gaming\, McGonigal revea ls how we can use the lessons of game design to fix what is wrong with t he real world. \;\n \;\nDrawing on positive psychology\, cognitive science\, and sociology\, Reality Is Broken uncovers how game designers have hit on core truths about what makes us happy and used these discov eries to astonishing effect in virtual environments. Videogames consiste ntly provide the exhilarating rewards\, stimulating challenges\, and epi c victories that are so often lacking in the real world. But why\, McGon igal asks\, should we use the power of games for escapist entertainment alone? Her research suggests that gamers are expert problem solvers and collaborators\, since they cooperate with other players to overcome daun ting virtual challenges\, and she helped pioneer a fast-growing genre of games that aims to turn gameplay to socially positive ends. \;\n \;\nIn Reality Is Broken\, she reveals how these new Alternate Reality G ames are already improving the quality of our daily lives\, fighting soc ial problems like depression and obesity\, and addressing vital twenty-f irst century challenges—and she forecasts the thrilling possibilities th at lie ahead. She introduces us to games like World Without Oil\, a simu lation designed to brainstorm—and therefore avert—the challenges of a wo rldwide oil shortage\, and Evoke\, a game commissioned by the World Bank Institute that sends players on missions to address issues from poverty to climate change. \;\n \;\nJane McGonigal\, PhD\, is the directo r of Game Research and Development at the Institute for the Future. Her work has been featured in The Economist\, Wired\, and The New York Times and on MTV\, CNN\, and NPR. In 2009\, BusinessWeek called her one of th e 10 most important innovators to watch. She has given keynote addresses at TED\, South by Southwest Interactive\, and the Game Developers Confe rence and was a featured speaker at The New Yorker Conference. \;\n&# 13\;\nThis Science Pub is presented in partnership with Powell’s Books. Powell’s will have Jane’s books available for purchase at the Science Pu b and Jane will sign them after the talk.\n\nTags: plancast:plan=3k8k\, game\, science\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250459652 URL:http://www.omsi.edu/sciencepubportland SUMMARY:OMSI Science Pub! - Reality Is Broken: Why Games Make Us Better a nd How They Can Change the World LOCATION:Bagdad Theater and Pub: 3702 S.E.

Completing kinectasploit f or DEFCON19 made me realize the utility of game engines for interacting with security tools and security information. Jeff will start with a rec ap/encore performance of kinectasploit (http://p0wnlabs.com/defcon19)\, which uses gestures to drive a first-person shooter 3D game environment to break into computers on victim virtual machines. Then using the same technology\, Jeff will walk through a couple scenes using standard corpo rate security data in a 3D\, kinect-driven environment made possible by the blender game engine. \;\n \;\nKinect and gestures are two of t he most prevalent game-changing technologies to affect user interfaces s ince the keyboard and mouse.

They must have not yet experienced what ViviTouch c an add to their gaming experience. ViviTouch enables a gamer to experien ce thousands of sensations in a versatile language of feedback in the pa lm of the hand. This allows game developers to change the way that their games interact with the gamer. \;\n \;\nTom will present the exc iting consumer reactions from the recent introduction of this technology to gamers and game developers. A case study of the Mophie Pulse gaming case that turns the iPod Touch into a gaming platform with a rumble expe rience that surpasses console controllers will also be presented. Tom wi ll introduce how game developers can enable gamers to truly experience V iviTouch for iOS\, Android\, and other platforms by using available desi gn guides and SDKs. \;\n \;\nUser experience designers can use th is innovative technology to communicate useful information through the s ense of touch\, such as who is calling or messaging\, or enabling a user to feel different parts of their screen\, to even potentially enable si ghtless typing on a touch screen. ViviTouch can become a new tool for us er experience designers to integrate to create truly innovative user int erfaces. \;\n \;\nTom joined AMI in September 2007 as Vice Preside nt of Engineering. Prior to AMI\, Tom was the Engineering Program Manage r for Skypilot Networks\, a developer of low cost / high volume wireless infrastructure products. Prior to Skypilot\, he held senior management positions in engineering and project management for several companies\, including Intel\, Raychem\, Ericsson Fiber\, WaveSplitter\, and Siros Te chnologies.
