12. Through mixing
realities, research is
expanding the potential
of embedded training
in the field and in
battle labs to provide
integrated training
anytime, anywhere.
Advancements are
being transferred
across industries
from business
prototypes to
hospitality training.
Integrated research in
tracking, registration, re

scenario delivery are
expanding the
possibilities of

20. Self Organized Innovation Networks –
Cross appropriation of game
technology to other human endeavors.

21. How are consumer-producers
impacting the game industry?
Example:
CounterStrike™
Modder: An individual who modifies the content and
context of games to create new innovation.

22. CounterStrike™

23. • In 2002 there were
over 30,000 Counter-
Strike servers
• Second place was
Unreal Tournament
with about 9,800
• In 2004, GameSpy
over 85,000 players
playing Counter-Strike
at any point in time
• In 2004 accounted for
almost 70 percent of
the online FPS
audience.
• Over 4.5 billion minutes
of playing time each
month, making it the
most popular online
FPS in history.

to events with choices that
should mirror Department of
Justice NICS doctrine.
• Tactical Map set in player’s

success
• Full-scale training is
unaffordable for small

Recommendation: Emphasize human-to-
human computer mediated
communication, interaction and learning.

32. Virtual U models the attitudes and

• Improved pattern recognition and spatial
processing abilities
(UCLA Prof. Patricia Marks Greenfield in Clark 2005)
• Improved inductive reasoning, users “learn
by doing”
(Prof. Sherry Turkle, MIT in in Clark 2005)

57. Burgeoning realm of academic study?
• Transformation of media space and culture
• Impact to human
communication, organization, learning, beh
