In the last post I looked at the upcoming trend of mobile gaming communities. Well - here at Lancaster University we have our very own research into mobile phone design; also, Lancaster University is the only University in the UK to teach mobile phone game design:
"Lancaster University is pioneering a new form of mobile computer gaming which brings together virtual reality and the real world.
Researchers in the Department of Communication Systems, based in InfoLab21, have been developing a new game which can be played by up to five players on mobile phones.
Unlike traditional mobile phone games, this game takes place in real space as well as on a mobile phone screen. Called Pac-Lan, in homage to the arcade classic Pacman, the game enables players to keep track of one another’s position through images on their mobile phones as they chase one another round campus."
