IDEA ONE- Campus Pokemon

Expanding upon my location aware text adventure game, I think it would be really awesome to code a multi-player campus-based pokemon app. By that I mean people could be running around with a pokemon style map of campus on their phone, finding pokemon & fighting battles with other people that they run into that are currently playing.

The challenge- not really knowing how to make this happen.

FYI I came up with this before google quest. (beetches stole half my idea!)

IDEA TWO- Worldly Sounds

I am also interested in created an installation using sound. I would want visitors to explore a dark space; exploring sounds and moving towards the sounds that they are more attracted too, and then once they have “selected” a sound (AKA move closer to it for a while) more details about the origin of the sound will become clear (AKA lights will increase around the point and they will see where/what country the sounds are local too. I am interested in doing something like this because I think it could be a beautiful explorartory interaction.

I would plan to determine location using a kinect or a series of distance sensor & an arduino. The experience would be made up of  a large scale map on the floor paired with lights controlled by an arduino and speakers.
