Description

Today, when you think of games on mobile devices, you think of static single person games. However there is a new breed of dynamic, interactive, multi‐player, and networking games on the horizon. These are enabled by new platform technologies, higher processing power, improved graphics, virtual worlds, and location based technologies.

At this one day seminar in association with the Mobile Data Association we will be taking a peek into the future with speakers from across the value chain:

Microsoft: We will be hearing about the recently unveiled Windows Phone 7, which includes an array of gaming facilities.

Polymath Insight: How to generate more engaging, responsive and fun experiences for users of location based gaming and networking using location and positioning technologies.

Simon Games: will be talking about Real People, Real Places, and possibly their latest game ‘Guess Who’.

Ambient Performance will be discussing their new mobile augmented reality service to visualize civic information and their mobile social networking and learning games.

Palringo: will share with us Location as a key component of presence and a social enabler.

Calvium enables others to build exciting mobile applications based on sensors and context; Bristol LBS‐ Origins and Destinations.

Active Ingredients will be showcasing three new games, including the award winning Heartlands.

Mixed Reality Lab will provide insights from their history of creating innovative urban experiences by combining technology with knowledge from the fields of architecture, heritage and performing arts.

We will also have contributions from the mobile handset manufacturing giant Samsung.
