  abstract     = {{In this paper, we present a component-based architecture for developing pervasive games that can flexibly integrate both graphical and tangible user interfaces. It allows for gradually augmenting purely virtual games with elements from the real world, thus transferring computer entertainment to our physical realities.
As a proof of concept, we have implemented a tabletop role playing game called Caves & Creatures that can be played with varying proportions of physical and graphical interface components and will provide a test bed for different interaction device ensembles.}},

  abstract     = {{In this paper, we present the Smart Dice Cup, a novel interaction device aimed at gaming applications in smart home environments. The Smart Dice Cup is used in a similar way as a traditional leather dice cup to generate random numbers. Integrated accelerometers relate the shaking of the device to the resulting rolls of the dice. In addition to an autonomous stand-alone mode, where the Smart Dice Cup serves as self-sustained gaming system, the device is also capable of communicating with its surrounding environment serving as an input device for other pervasive gaming applications.}},
