“…Para incrementar el interés y la conciencia o involucración de los ciudadanos/usuarios en los espacios urbanos se han desarrollado aplicaciones móviles como los LBG [22], [23], [30], [31], [55], que proporcionan la oportunidad de combinar tanto espacios físicos como virtuales, posicionando elementos digitales en el mundo físico y posibilitando las interacciones entre ambos mundos [90], [91]. Hasta el momento las evaluaciones existentes de este tipo de casos de uso miden la motivación de usuario con los instrumentos de evaluación que se exponen en la tabla 2.3, pero no se ha encontrado estudios que lleguen a profundizar más allá del impacto de uso de este tipo de aplicaciones móviles.…”

“…The aspiration is to promote the participation of citizens in urban planning, improve the general sense of community, support informal learning and increase the feeling of belonging and caring of urban areas [6,16,19]. For achieving these goals, pervasive games are adopted because they can generate a tight connection with the physical environment [13] and they provide a powerful play experience [16]. Moreover, playing with this type of games has benefits in terms of users well-being [10] and social interactions [12].…”

“…The consequence is an engaging and playful context [16]. In fact, it has been proved that AR is a useful way to contextualize information in the physical world [5,14] and a valuable approach to engage citizens [2,3] which in turn affects positively the user experience. These AR urban games offer a new way to get to know the city in different ways [4] by adding new meanings to the environment and involving citizens in the public life while playing [3].…”

The combination of Augmented Reality (AR) and pervasive games in urban environments offers a great opportunity for learning about a specific urban environment. Since pervasive games are played in a physical space, the user familiarity with such environment might play a key role in the user motivation and in the whole user experience. In this paper, we analyse how an augmented reality pervasive game is experienced in an urban game. The aim of the game is to engage people in informal learning activities increasing their knowledge about a specific area. We also introduce the concept of Personal Urban Awareness (PUA) as a way to represent the level at which a person feels connected and knows about a specific environment. Thus, we try to find out whether the user engagement and PUA are related. In order to research this, we run an experiment where two groups of users, familiar with the environment and not familiar with it, play the augmented reality game in an urban space. The results suggest that AR pervasive games might be a good approach to engage citizens and improve their awareness about a specific area.

We present the design process and evaluation of a pervasive, location-based mobile game created to act as an experiment system and allow evaluation of how different design elements can influence player behaviour, using social interaction as a study case. A feasibility study with a group of community dwelling elderly volunteers from the city of Kyoto, Japan, was performed to evaluate the system. Results showed that the choice of theme and overall design of game was adequate, and that elderly people could understand the game rules and their goals while playing. Points of improvement included reducing the complexity of game controls and changing social interaction mechanics to account for situations when there are only a few players active or players are too far apart.
