    Massively Multiplayer online game were gamers create federations, alliances, etc. and the world is directly influenced by these large corporations and groups that are entirely player driven. Here, as in MAG, social interaction is not an ancillary element but critical to gameplay.

    By now, we're used to letting Facebook and Twitter capture our social lives on the web -- building a "social layer" on top of the real world. In his talk, Seth Priebatsch looks at the next layer in progress: the "game layer," a pervasive net of behavior-steering game dynamics that will reshape education and commerce.

    Thanks for sharing Hongge, I think many aspects of our lives are actually 'gamified'. The key seems to be making it as relevant and 'intrinsically integrated' so that it's seamless. Just a question: why is it 'game layer' over the real world and not 'real world' layer over the game?

    Yes, indeed. The ideal is to intrinsically integrate. That's a good idea. Why not? In fact, maybe the alternate reality games qualify as "real world" layer over games because in such games, whatever happens in games impact the reality in certain ways. We could also design games to work the other way around, e.g. a diet game, where only when you do exercise in a gym in the real world, can you advance levels in the game.

    Haha yes!! I recall a rowing machine which actually had a game in front of users so that they could compete with 'other rowers'. It was great and definitely made the workout more fun. I stopped though after a friend slipped his disc on the machine...
