Create a game on android that is governed only by the constraints of the real world and augmented by an interface that links you to game elements.
"Tag," geocaching and lazer tag are some basic games that can sit on top of the architecture and we should be able to cohesively join these together to create an immersive experience along the lines of an ARG or "assasin" type many-player base game.
In any computer game, the game understands variations on only a few things:
- Player status
- Environment state and limits
- Non-player entities state
- player/entity location w/in the environment.
With this system GPS shows us player location, and would allow the system to orient the player inside the environment space with a reasonable accuracy. With the composite info from other players we can track geographic relations between players. GPS coordinates allow us to mp a player to a defined spot on earth meaning if we are able to map the game environment to lat/long coordinates we can overlay the entire game universe in real-space.
This capability allows for a great ability to unobtrusively build an immersive environement that can be used to frame many sorts of games.
