At the recent DICE2010 conference, Carnegie Mellon University Professor Jesse Schell gave a presentation on the future of game development after the “Facebook Era”. It’s a fun presentation that discusses the recent upsets in the gaming industry (the Wii, Rock Band, Mafia Wars & FarmVille, Webkinz, and more) and what brings them together: Psychological Tricks. In addition, he discusses how these same tricks are popping up in other places like university grading schemes, hybrid cars, and other surprising places you’ve probably never thought up. To conclude, he puts forth a proposal where the world is driven by game theories and advertisements combined with ubiquitous sensors. Fascinating stuff, if not just a tad bit far-fetched. Randall Hand is a visualization scientist working for a federal research lab, aiding researchers to discover the insights buried within their terabyte datasets generated on some of the most powerful supercomputers in the world.

Les jeux éducatifs dans les années 1990 et plus récemment les serious games ont ainsi pris le parti d'utiliser le média ludique dans une logique d'apprentissage. La "ludification" (ou en anglais "gamification") est le dernier avatar de ce transfert d'idées venant du jeu vidéo. Ce terme désigne la manière dont les mécaniques de jeu peuvent être appliquées à des services ou des applications non-ludiques, afin d’encourager l'implication de l’utilisateur et l’inciter à adopter certains usages.

Gamification gets its own conference | VentureBeat

If a trend gets big enough, it usually gets its own conference. That’s the case with “gamification,” or the use of game mechanics to make non-game material more engaging. That’s why organizers have created their first annual Gamification Summit 2011 .
