Goals
• Establish Calit2, Game Lab, and partner network as world-leading center in networked games and visualization
• Lead the investigation, prototyping, and deployment of the Web 3.0
• Partner with industry-leading firms, government agencies, and others that want to go there with us.
Overview
● Computer Games● (Global) Open Source Software Development ● Computer Supported Cooperative Work
Environments● Possible research applications/projects
Computer Games Research
● Science Learning Games Partnering with Discovery Science Center Targeting >1M players/year Minimal training; measurable performance
● Heterogeneous game networks and devices Unexceptional.net
● Game-based CSCW Rooms Observatory/Test-bed Warrooms

Science Learning Games• Physical interaction quest environment:
DinoQuest– Life-size dinosaurs (e.g.,120’ Argentinosaurs)– Gesture-based, embedded electronic media
activation (via user IR wand)
• Online science games: DinoQuest Online– Addressing CA science education standards
for K-6– Content and API-level interoperation with
DinoQuest– DSC Goal: migrate to MMOSLG
• DSC planning new SLG exhibits through 2010– >$5M investment– DSC developing network of three more DSCs
(Korea, Turkey, Irvine)

(Global) Open Source Software Development
● Visualizing OSS project teams Global scale (WorldView Map) and heterogeneous
administrative regimes OSSD project communities are socio-technical
interaction networks● Associating resources, people (roles), tools, and
workflows● Multi-modal STIN modeling and visualization

Computer Supported Cooperative Work Environments
● Collaboration infrastructure Multi-mode and multi-media collaboration (social
software) applications● Serves as platform for reconfiguration of applications or
components Integrated via networked repositories, middleware,
inter- and intra-application scripting Mix of “freeware” and open source software

Game-based Collaboratory Rooms
• Multiple Game Web/Visualization research rooms– HIPerWall– Interactive Classroom– Software/Enterprise Systems Observatory– Multi-sensor observational systems – Collaboration warrooms

Game Web/Visualization Rooms
Game Research Opportunities
● Combine real-time strategy, resource management, SimCity, within a multiplayer game
● Game-based “information markets” (collective sense-making) and “hastily-formed networks” Information fusion via Google News-style clustering and
headline generation of Emails, Blogs, Internet Chat/Instant Messaging, etc. overlaid on Google Map visualizations
● Global strategic planning games Developed via “sponsored” open source software effort Integrate game concepts (see above) Integrate and embed pervasive CSCW environment
