Future of Games: Mobile Gaming
Goldstein, Jeffrey and Joost Raessens, Ed. "Handbook of Computer Game Studies" MIT Press, Cambridge, 2005. Justin Hall, contributor.
IMD graduate student Justin Hall contributed an essay to The Handbook of Computer Game Studies entitled: "Future of Games: Mobile Gaming" exploring the potential for play and gaming on mobile phones and handheld devices.
"While social play is a constant possibility, initiated by curious people through a chance smile or shared bench, most electronic gaming is a dedicated pastime. People must take time to be deliberately engaged with their machines. The advent of mobile communications devices with the power to play could merge gaming and communication into a constant state of machine-mediated social exchange."
