crafted extensions of the self, embody players' dreams, fears, and aspirations, allowing for a profound level of self-expression and identity exploration within the vast digital landscapes. Whether customizing the appearance, abilities, or personality traits of their avatars, gamers imbue these virtual representations with elements of their own identity, creating a sense of connection and ownership. The ability to inhabit alternate personas, explore diverse roles, and interact with virtual worlds empowers players to express themselves in ways that transcend the limitations of the physical realm, fostering creativity and empathy in the gaming community.</p> <a href="https://blog-aff3e5wl3.mit-edu.top/post/1023874659" class="post-author d-flex align-items-center"> <div class="author-pic"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/user/8.jpg" alt="Enhancing Social Interactions in AR Mobile Games Through Voice and Gesture Recognition" title="Enhancing Social Interactions in AR Mobile Games Through Voice and Gesture Recognition" class="lazyload"> </div> <div class="text"> <strong>Lisa Walker</strong> <span>2025-02-06 published post</span> </div> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-lg-12"> <div class="post-entry d-md-flex small-horizontal mb-5"> <div class="me-md-5 thumbnail mb-3 mb-md-0"> <a href="https://blog-aff3e5wl3.mit-edu.top/post/6917234085"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/post/5.jpg" alt="Learning Sparse Representations for Memory-Constrained AI in Mobile Games" title="Learning Sparse Representations for Memory-Constrained AI in Mobile Games" class="img-fluid lazyload"> </a> </div> <div class="content"> <div class="post-meta mb-3"> <a href="https://blog-6917234085.mit-edu.top/post/6917234085/" target="_blank"> <span class="date">2025-02-06</span> </a> </div> <h2 class="heading"><a href="https://blog-aff3e5wl3.mit-edu.top/post/6917234085">Learning Sparse Representations for Memory-Constrained AI in Mobile Games</a></h2> <p class="info">This paper presents an ethnographic study of online multiplayer mobile gaming communities, exploring how players interact, collaborate, and form social bonds through gameplay. The research draws on theories of social capital, community building, and identity formation to analyze the dynamics of virtual relationships in mobile gaming. The study examines how mobile games facilitate socialization across geographical and cultural boundaries, while also addressing challenges such as online toxicity, harassment, and the commodification of social interaction.
