The Cultural Impact of Augmented Reality in Place-Based Mobile Games
Thanks to Christopher Robinson for contributing the article "The Cultural Impact of Augmented Reality in Place-Based Mobile Games".
This study explores the evolution of virtual economies within mobile games, focusing on the integration of digital currency and blockchain technology. It analyzes how virtual economies are structured in mobile games, including the use of in-game currencies, tradeable assets, and microtransactions. The paper also investigates the potential of blockchain technology to provide decentralized, secure, and transparent virtual economies, examining its impact on player ownership, digital asset exchange, and the creation of new revenue models for developers and players alike.
This research explores the intersection of mobile gaming and digital citizenship, with a focus on the ethical, social, and political implications of gaming in the digital age. Drawing on sociotechnical theory, the study examines how mobile games contribute to the development of civic behaviors, digital literacy, and ethical engagement in online communities. It also explores the role of mobile games in shaping identity, social responsibility, and participatory culture. The paper critically evaluates the positive and negative impacts of mobile games on digital citizenship, and offers policy recommendations for fostering ethical game design and responsible player behavior in the digital ecosystem.
This paper explores the convergence of mobile gaming and artificial intelligence (AI), focusing on how AI-driven algorithms are transforming game design, player behavior analysis, and user experience personalization. It discusses the theoretical underpinnings of AI in interactive entertainment and provides an extensive review of the various AI techniques employed in mobile games, such as procedural generation, behavior prediction, and adaptive difficulty adjustment. The research further examines the ethical considerations and challenges of implementing AI technologies within a consumer-facing entertainment context, proposing frameworks for responsible AI design in games.
This study examines how mobile games can be used as tools for promoting environmental awareness and sustainability. It investigates game mechanics that encourage players to engage in pro-environmental behaviors, such as resource conservation and eco-friendly practices. The paper highlights examples of games that address climate change, conservation, and environmental education, offering insights into how games can influence attitudes and behaviors related to sustainability.
This study explores the social and economic implications of microtransactions in mobile gaming, focusing on player behavior, spending patterns, and the potential for addiction. It also investigates the broader effects on the gaming industry, such as the shift in business models, the emergence of virtual economies, and the ethical concerns surrounding "pay-to-win" mechanics. The research offers policy recommendations to address these issues in a balanced manner.
