“This is a forum to discuss the user experience of interactive entertainment. Interactive entertainment is becoming an increasingly important feature of the wired and wireless world. Entertaining content offers the kind of engagement and stickiness that creates devoted and frequent users. This group is interested in how end users can be involved in the design and evaluation of interactive entertainment such as games, gambling, interactive advertising, and electronic toys. It is a ‘platform independent’ forum, discussing user experiences across (and between) Web, mobile, interactive TV, and dedicated appliances.”

Generating Images on the Fly

“Static images may have once been worth a thousand words, but it seems as though their value has plummeted as of late. Sure, you can animate them so they dance around, and yeah, some big, fat images have millions of colors, but even the best of them just sit on a page and look pretty. Images generated on the fly, on the other hand, have all kinds of potential. Imagine how impressed your users would be if a new, unexpected image loaded every time they hit your page. The images could be simple, eye-candy baubles with no purpose other than sprucing up a dull page with interesting color changes.”
