    Abstract

    This paper strives to investigate the possibilities of minimizing the boundary between the real and the fictional virtual space. As a case study, we have developed Enhanced TCG that replaces real components of the trading card game in the real space with fictional components. It also integrates the real and fictional space using transmedia storytelling. In Enhanced TCG, a player sees the enhanced space using a head mounted display. We found that achieving immersion is a key factor to make our approach successful. The transformation from the real components to fictional components changes the meaning of the real space to more emotionally engage a player beyond the real space. This idea offers a lot of new promising opportunities like enhancing gamification by incorporating fictionality through Ubicomp technologies.
