Development of an Instrument to Measure Enjoyment of Computer Game Play

This article reports on the development of an instrument designed to measure the enjoyment of computer game play. Despite the enormous technological progress in the field of computer games, enjoyment of computer game play is still not a well-defined construct. Based on Nabi and Krcmar's (2004 Nabi, R. L. and Krcmar, M. 2004. Conceptualizing media enjoyment as attitude: Implications for mass media effects research. Communication Theory, 14: 288–310. [Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) tripartite model of media enjoyment, a survey questionnaire was developed to measure computer game players' affective, behavioral, and cognitive reactions. Expert consultation, exploratory, and confirmatory card sorting sessions were used to refine the instrument. A survey of computer game players was subsequently conducted to test the instrument. Reliabilities and construct validities were analyzed. Findings and their implications were discussed.     

The Cooperative Work of Gaming: Orchestrating a Mobile SMS Game

This paper focuses on orchestration work in the first iteration of a mobile game called Day Of The Figurines, which explores the potential to exploit text messaging as a means of creating an engaging gaming experience. By focusing on orchestration we are especially concerned with the ‘cooperative work that makes the game work’. While the assemblage or family of orchestration practices uncovered by our ethnographic study are specific to the game – including the ways in which behind the scenes staff make sense of messages, craft appropriate responses, and manage and track the production of gameplay narratives as the game unfolds – orchestration work is of general significance to our understanding of new gaming experiences. The focus on orchestration work reveals that behind the scenes staff are co-producers of the game and that the playing of games is, therefore, inseparably intertwined with their orchestration. Furthermore, orchestration work is ‘ordinary’ work that relies upon the taken for granted skills and competences of behind the scenes staff; ‘operators’ and ‘authors’ in this case. While we remain focused on the specifics of this game, explication of the ordinary work of orchestration highlights challenges and opportunities for the continued development of gaming experiences more generally. Indeed, understanding the specificities of orchestration work might be said to be a key ingredient of future development.

The Mobile Application Server (MAS): An Infrastructure Platform for Mobile Wireless Services

There has been a surge of interest in developing advanced mobile voice and data services. One of the biggest challenges faced by service providers is to create new services efficiently and rapidly. We describe the motivation, architecture and design of the Mobile Application Server (MAS), a Java middleware prototype platform for mobile services which provides basic common building blocks required by mobile wireless applications, such as user profile management, location handling, device detection, content adaptation and e-wallet functions. The MAS is modular, flexible, and provides an open API for 3rd party service creation. Users can thus utilize a variety of access technologies (CDPD, cellular, 802.11, SMS, etc.) and delivery mechanisms (HTML, WML, VoiceXML, etc.) while application developers are spared the details of this heterogeneity. The MAS also interfaces to traditional telecommunications system (A/IN) elements such as SCPs as well as Next Generation Network (NGN) or converged-network elements such as Call Agents. We present application examples of the use of MAS, initial performance measurements and discuss some lessons learned from this experimental system. We conclude with directions for further work.

Mobile learning with a mobile game: design and motivational effects

Abstract Mobile technologies offer the opportunity to embed learning in a natural environment. This paper describes the design of the MobileGame prototype, exploring the opportunities to support learning through an orientation game in a university setting. The paper first introduces the scenario and then describes the general architecture of the prototype. The main part of the paper focuses on the evaluation of design issues and the effects observed in two trials. Design issues include: Supporting work on the move poses difficult interface questions, the accuracy of current outdoor, and indoor positioning systems is still problematic and the game requires near real-time response time. The evaluation of the effects shows that features such as ‘map-navigation’ and ‘hunting and hiding’ lead to excitement and fun. The participants immerse into a mixed reality that augments both physical and social space. The game success is based on the motivating design of the game itself. The paper concludes with open issues for future research, especially with the need to thoroughly evaluate the learning benefits.
