Topic: Game for your Life - Gamification Trends & Innovation
Together we'll explore trends in mobile gaming and how it has affected living in the real world. Augmented reality games such as Pokemon Go have changed the way we play games and it has gotten us out of the house to explore. This mobile game has forced players off the couch and to venture out in the real world in pursuit of "catching them all." Not to mention the fact that Pokemon Go is played by the most broad demographic of any game in recent memory. (The closest equivalent may be Tetris.) It has changed the industry and how we all play and interact in real life. Also, as a bonus, I'll explain how to write a book, which, as you will learn, is not all that difficult. (Bring pen and paper to take notes or, if you prefer, take notes on your mobile device or tablet.)
