- Mobile and Computer Applications
- NFC / RFID Technology
- Audio Technology
- Communication Technology
- Extended Reality
- GPS / Real-Time Location Tracking
- Microcontrollers for Tech Enhancement
- Game Engines
- AI and Machine Learning
The Toolkit also explores future trends, such as:
- Haptic Feedback and Sensor Technology
- Motion Capture and Real-Time Animation
- Wearable Technologies and Smart Devices
- Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Procedural AI Generation
- Robotics and drones in larp
Finally, the Toolkit discusses ethical concerns, including:
- Legal and Ethical Considerations for Integrating Technology in larp and TTRPGs
- Intellectual Property: Navigating Copyright and Licensing Issues
- Privacy Concerns: Managing Data Privacy and Security
We hope you enjoy this deep dive into integrating technology and RPGs!
