Hanmadang: entertainment systems for massive face-to-face interaction

ABSTRACT

We created entertainment systems called "Hanmadang". The goal of the Hanmadang project is to allow players to experience massive face-to-face interaction. To reduce entry barriers of participation, it enables players to use their own mobile phone as an input interface by using an audio response system. Two games "Youngcha!" and "Hankanoid" are developed as parts of this project.
