Abstract :
In this paper, we create a taxonomy of interactive digital entertainment (IDE), which can be used to guide future research in IDE and direct the design of interactive entertainment. We start by defining and explaining the differences between IDE and lifestyle computing. We then review the major taxonomies on gaming that can illuminate research and practice with IDE. Given this review, we propose an overarching taxonomy called the IDE unification framework. Based on this framework, we then propose promising areas for future research
