Abstract
This paper presents an associated and integrated cyber-physical multimedia board game that supports bidirectional communication between a mobile device and a physical game set. The objective of this research is to assist, enhance, and expand the scope of hybrid board games based on today’s media culture. By investigating and analyzing existing hybrid board game systems, we propose in this paper a new direction for the development of such board games. According to the new direction, we developed a new Monopoly-based hybrid board game, Hybrid Monopoly, which provides intelligent content through the utilization of a digital interface for mobile devices and a physical game set that is linked to the digital interface, and proposed several technologies that can support bidirectional communication. In order to prove its validity, the hybrid board game was tested and evaluated. Our hybrid board game exemplifies a new possibility for multimedia systems that provides a new experience for users.
