The Games@Large project intends to design a platform for running interactive rich content multimedia, such as online video games. Unlike others, these games can be played at the home environment, hotel rooms, homes for the elderly and Internet Cafés. Due to the broad aimed areas, variation in social and physical factors could influence the game experience.
