Welcome to the beginning of the Interactive Media Geocaching blog space. This blog is to document our research and findings within the area Geocaching. Within one of our modules, Principles of Interactive design with Dr Avram Gabriela, we have to present to the class a topic within the area of interaction and design. We will present our findings to the class in groups of three and within the presentation we must involve an interactive activity.
"Geocaching is a real-world, outdoor treasure hunting game using GPS-enabled devices. Participants navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates and then attempt to find the geocache (container) hidden at that location."
As a group we plan to investigate how Geocaching is being used today, and what interfaces can support this but also how such ideas could be developed to support education on many levels. This blog will post what other people think of Geocaching, linking videos, forums, controversial issues surrounding it and how it can be improved. We will map all our developments from our research and post this daily to allow viewers see our progress, suggest ideas and to help develop our presentation for the end of this module.
