Are you geocurious?

Notes from the Geolocation panel:

Location can be fuzzy, relative or absolute but the important thing always is to start with the experience. NEVER the technology. Although saying that the panel did seem pretty excited about the prospect of the iphone getting GPS.

With four speakers and a mic problem it was hard to stay focussed on this panel, but there were lots of new examples of location based games that I hadn’t come across: 

  • Mobzombies - phone application
  • Socialight - leave post it notes tagged around the city (I am sure this was an idea Tom Burton had last week as the mobile workshop)
  • conQwest - Young people’s scavenger hunt around a city using QI codes, carrying massive blow up animals
  • Plundr - creating virtual islands around wireless hotspots
  • Crossroads - a one on one mibile game based on pacmanhattan
