Camera phones are the pioneers for convergent networked media devices. As such, new practices are being born from eased capabilities of mobile digital media sharing. Furthermore, new opportunities are created through the collaboration of existing realms into entirely new ones. Focusing on the intersection of social networking, gaming, and media sharing we believe that new uses for media are possible which incent users to play and have fun, while at the same time ease media sharing and promote reuse. Using simple design structures, users are able to interact easily with both the device world and the real one. As well, by providing flexible frameworks to capture and engage with their worlds, playing with media becomes possible. Categories & Subject Descriptors: H.4.3 (Information
