Its been a year since eLBeS kicked off during the Nordic Games Conference of 2008 in the city of Malmö in Sweden. This year, the event will be back on May 18th with some fresh speakers.

Liselott Brunnberg, PhD
Liselott is an experience designer and researcher at the Interactive Institute and the Mobile Life VinnExcellence Center in Stockholm. Liselott will present Backseat Playground, a game which turns mountains, churches, bridges, and other roadside objects, seen through the window of the vehicle, into a fictive land filled with riddles and actions of a crime mystery. By pointing the device towards objects as they pass by, the player can explore, reveal and unfold the dark adventure embedded in the surrounding physical landscape. GPS is used in combination with existing map-data to link the game to the surrounding landscape and to dynamically create a unique gaming experience wherever the player might travel in the road network.
