Abstract EN:

Always available, the mobile phone has become an instrument of play in situations flot previously seen, like transit places. Gaming once isolated and separate can be superimposed to daily activity. Thus, gamers must manage mobility and take into account a bystander’s presence. Game use on the mobile triggers three kinds of sociability : the first one, a bot sociability, is defined by collective usage, face to face, in the same location for the duration of the game. The second is tepid, defined as collective, through a virtual link, involving also unknown people. Additional components such as chat, webcam or instant messaging, can contribute to a doser feel. The third kind of sociability is cold. Here the game is played alone and can be superimposed with other activities. In transit places, games must be ready to use, packaged to end in five minutes. In seated places, for longer durations, in order to renew interest, games must be thousand and one night games with distribution changes at every play. As soon as a pat-tuer is ready to play, depending on he or she is present or whether there’s a virtual link. It is possible to switch from one kind of sociabilitv to another, without changing nor the support. For the game, nor the plaver.
