Welcome to SoberIT's website for the Mobile Content Communities (MC2) research project. MC2 is a multi-disciplinary research project with diverse objectives relating to mobility, community, user experience and collaborative content production in gaming. Have a look at the final report.

SoberIT/IERG's role in mc2 is to thoroughly understand some game-related elements: ideas of mobility, community and context of use. The main methods are literary studies and user-studies.
