NFC, videogames, mobile devicesAbstract
The emergence of new interaction alternatives can result in increasingly interesting videogames; this is the case of the interaction with the mobile phone, especially NFC technology. However, there is not a model to get to know the types of videogames that would be more appropriate to be developed with NFC. Therefore, this article provides a review of several sources to determine current state of videogames with NFC for future reference of content generators and entrepreneurs in the field of videogames; as a contribution, there is a review of several commercial, bibliographic sources and applications shops to generate current state and a scheme of potential videogames with which NFC could interact by determining categories of the most appropriate videogames to be developed with such a technology and proposing some features that can be implemented with the NFC.
