By moving games out into the world, AR games have the potential to sidestep the limitations of small mobile displays by giving players the illusion that they are looking through a window into a larger 3D play space merged with the world.  And by attaching this virtual world to the physical world, AR games create new opportunities for physical and social play.  In this talk, MacIntyre will present examples of AR game prototypes to illustrate AR game mechanics, with a focus on social, physical, and tangible interaction.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ELunch begins at 11:30 am and the talk starts at noon.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EBlair MacIntyre is an Associate Professor in the School of Interactive Computing at the Georgia Tech, where he has directed the Augmented Environments Lab for 10 years.  He has been conducting Augmented Reality research for 17 years, with the goal of understanding the potential of AR as a new medium for games, entertainment, education and work.  He has collaborated on a variety of AR gaming and entertainment projects over the years, and in the past few years has focused on handheld AR game design, interaction and evaluation.  He has research support from companies including Nokia, Turner Broadcasting, Sun Microsystems, Hewlett- Packard, Alcatel-Lucent, NVidia, Apple, Texas Instruments, Samsung, Qualcomm and Motorola.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EHe has written a wide range of academic papers, taught tutorials on Handheld Augmented Reality, and been Program Chair for the International Symposia on Wearable Computing (2000), Mixed and Augmented Reality (2003), and User-Interface Software and Technology (2003).
