John Martin is passionate about sustainable design and living, and is excited that local games, like the handheld augmented reality games, can foster greater care for real places. He's spent 13 years helping to run a deep woods camp in Maine called Flying Moose Lodge, and is studying AR games there via the Mystery Trip. He'll write all about the blend of the game experience, design, and sociocultural connections to place in his doctoral dissertation. Oh yeah, when he's not at camp, he's a doctoral student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in Curriculum and Instruction, with a minor in Learning Sciences, and a specialization in Educational Communications and Technology. He is part of GLS (the Games, Learning, and Society group), and a fan of physically immersive video games.
