Abstract
I propose to present findings from two in-depth ethnographic studies on online and mixed reality gaming in China. During the immersive participatory field research I collected data and image recordings from conversations and interactions with over 80 game players, Internet café owners, employees at public entertainment centers and at local design companies, which I intend to use for the poster illustrations. In what follows, I provide a synopsis of the work and main findings.
