“…Only a limited number of researchers have taken the whole car as playground into account (see e.g. [1] [8]); however, there is a growing community that sees that potential. Other means of transportation are just now starting to be seen from an entertainment perspective; for example, [8] use (exertion) games to explore the properties of trains as playgrounds.…”

This workshop addresses two strong fields within the Mobile HCI community: games & entertainment and transportation user interfaces. Using transportation technology (e.g., a car, plane, or traveling in public transportation) can be frustrating due to crowded streets, delays, and other travelers. Frustration may lead to aggression and negative experiences of other road members and passengers [4] leading to irrational behaviors [6]. Games & entertainment technology offer potential to resolve these negative user experiences. This workshop brings together entertainment and transportation user interface experts, who are willing to understand mobile entertainment technology as a potential solution to improve the experience of all travelers, drivers, and workers within the transportation field. The overall aim of the workshop is to create a common understanding of the challenges of entertainment in transportation, as well as further extend the research agenda for entertainment in this context from both from a scientific and an industrial perspective.

“…Epidemic Menace [7] combines the use of different game interfaces and the game's behavior is tied to real-world weather conditions. [2] introduces a concept for a ubiquitous game blended into a real-world experience, using a motion-sensing interface designed for ad-hoc encounters with other players. Several aspects of mixed-reality gaming, both technical and social, are discussed in [4].…”

In this paper we present a wearable user interface for ubiquitous gaming activities, discussing the design choices that led to the implementation of a first, fully functional prototype. The Gauntlet takes the form of an unobtrusive arm piece that allows gestures and manipulation of real objects to be included as game-play elements. When paired to a mobile device it can be used ubiquitously, without need of a location-dependent hardware framework. Public demonstration of the prototype by means of an interactive installation has allowed us to conduct observations of its usage and achieve preliminary conclusions on our approach.
