GDC Vault Recording: Video Recorded
Description: The opening set of talks at Game IT focuses on the ability for games to help solve problems through organizing and engaging collaborative groups of people through gameplay and social networks. The opportunities happening here are still emergent but already several projects have exemplified the power of this opportunity. This set of talks seeks to further these discussions and offer exciting new ideas to game-based crowdsourcing, collaboration, and distributed activity and problem solving.

Phylo, a McGill University based project creating a human-based computing framework applying ``crowd sourcing'' techniques and casual style gameplay to help with comparison of the human genome with the DNA of other species essential to deciphering our genetic code and revealing the causes of various genetic disorders.

CEML (Coordinating Event Module Launguage) an innovative new scripting language for coordinating group dynamics, and civic logistics across multiple platforms and applications. Developed by Citizen's Logistics CEML can be used to create exciting new blends of human action and game interaction.

Project Augur, developed by students at Carnegie Melon University's Entertainment Technology Center for Lockheed Martin Corporation. Project Augur's goal was to explore the frontiers of artificial intelligence as a predictive mechanism. Through the use of crowd-sourcing through Amazon Mechanical Turk, and with a trio of gamelike prototypes that collect data, the team built artificial intelligence algorithms that can predict based not only on an individual's past play, but other, less obvious factors as well.

Track / Duration / Format / Audience Level: Game IT Summit / 60-Minute / Lecture / All
GDC Vault Recording: Video Recorded
Description: This session looks at three projects that are doing just that, leading the way for games to become the first-line of defense for individual and organizational health. First up is an update on Jane McGonigal's SuperBetter, an online game with a mobile app designed to build SuperMario Health with four kinds of resilience: physical, mental, emotional and social. In this quickfire talk, you'll hear insights from a user-driven development process based on user-tests in both clinical and organizational settings -- from Ohio State University's hospital to Zappos Corporation. Next up is ShapeUp, an exciting startup in the field of employee wellness that uses social networking, gaming and incentives to improve health. ShapeUp’s social games promote physical activity, healthy eating, and weight loss among employees of large corporations and members of health plans. The company has expanded rapidly over 5 years, now covering 2 million people in 93 countries and working with clients like Aetna, HP, Cleveland Clinic, and Sprint who are using games to improve the health of their populations. Wrapping up, Brian Krejcarek, founder of GreenGoose will be presenting on making all of life a game -- with little wireless sensors. Taking on everyday obstacles and things we do in more playful way is a new kind of game we're exploring for all ages. What if the hours spent sedentarily playing casual games online could be extended to the real things we do around us? Maybe it's just a smile and a little humor to change our daily habits toward a healthier and happy lifestyle.
Takeaway: More and more healthcare is becoming a problem important to all organizations who are at the frontline of not only rising healthcare costs, but also the productivity disruptions and declines as affected by health issues. This session offers ideas and examples of games for health applications compatible with enterprise health approaches.

Description: Running Supply Chains is Like a Massively Multiplayer Online Game

Speaker/s: Michael Hugos (Center for Systems Innovation)
Day / Time / Location: Monday 3:00- 3:25 Room 2009, West Hall, 2nd Fl
Track / Duration / Format / Audience Level: Game IT Summit / 25-Minute / Lecture / All
GDC Vault Recording: Video Recorded
Description: Supply chains by definition involve many different companies each with their own interests and agendas. Yet they must find ways to work together because individual company success depends on the success of the supply chain as a whole.

In this session, business agility expert Michael Hugos presents a case study from his work where he applied gaming principles to turn the operation of a 5,000 store supply chain into a massively multiplayer online game. The surprising success this achieved fueled creation of a next-generation game-based supply chain system, SCM Globe, which he will demonstrate. How it was built and how it is compatible with the workflows and tech stacks of modern day enterprises is addressed.
Takeaway: Developing games that can be run across organizations requires taking key game design patterns and making them work for hardware, systems and work styles that are different then what games normally target. Attendees to this session will get a good look at how one project adheres to the needs of enterprise games

Description: Making Games as Fast as You Can Think of Them

Speaker/s: Ian Bogost (Georgia Institute of Technology)
Day / Time / Location: Monday 11:50-12:15 Room 2009, West Hall, 2nd Fl
Track / Duration / Format / Audience Level: Game IT Summit / 25-Minute / Lecture / All
GDC Vault Recording: Video Recorded
Description: One of the greatest challenges for making and using games in the enterprise is creating games in the first place. Games are not only complex and expensive, but the tools created by the "traditional" game industry for making them may not match the uses or authoring needs of other sorts of industries. In particular, current methods for making games rely on authoring behaviors and mechanics, which is still an expertise native to game development.

This talk presents a new game authoring tool that creates small, simple games in seconds based on a concept-map based authoring paradigm and a game generation artificial intelligence. The system was created to service journalists and the news media (thanks to funding from the Knight Foundation), but it can also be used in other sectors--or just as an inspiration for thinking about how to make new game authoring tools.
