Building a Mobile, Locative, and Collaborative Application2

I have a bunch of domain names piling virtual dust out there, and I've been thinking for a while to use them to host some (possibly game oriented) experiment with blog and mobile technologies...
Well, it looks like at epfl they already did the hard part for me!
Thank you Fabien, this (the postmortem pdf) was exactly the kind of docs I was looking for, to have an idea of the type of effort and the resources needed to make it real :)

I wrote a postmortem on CatchBob! a treasure-hunt type, Wi-Fi based locative and collaborative mobile game I developped at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne, Switzerland. The document describes the whole development process, from the technical architecture to the user perception of the game. I talk about the positioning system, the data, the communication tool as well as the the user interface.

Well, stay tuned for new projects then... I'm diving into the paper.
