Abstract

Many future ubiquitous devices will be able todetermine their precise physical position using differenttypes of localization techniques (e.g. GPS antennas for outdoor-,RFID tags, infrared beacons or triangulation etc. inindoor settings). Especially for games in a mobile environmentusage of the devices, respectively player’s location willcapacitate new game functionality and content. LocationAwareness in this context is twofold though, correspondingto the games’ focus: Either the player’s actions can be influencedby providing additional information according to thedevices physical location (augmented or mixed reality) or locationawareness directly or indirectly alters content andstate of the game (location immersion). This work focuses onthe presentation of two ubiquitous strategy games, whichare based on the same uniform middleware for MANETs,implementing the above mentioned different forms of locationawareness.
