System support for urban computing an RFIDcaching hunting game

Abstract

This paper describes a new system support for urban computing, designated as RFIDcaching hunting game. The research focus on how the mobile users can interact with each other when they walk through a city with embedded RFID technologies. Situated displays are used to present graphical information collected by users and to motivate the interaction in the urban environment. Middleware infrastructure is minimized in order to achieve a high level of sustainability and is centred on webservices and database systems, accessed from mobile devices.
