Online Over the Weekend

The apps website states that "ARIS is a user-friendly, open-source platform for creating and playing mobile games, tours and interactive stories. Using GPS and QR Codes, ARIS players experience a hybrid world of virtual interactive characters, items, and media placed in physical space”. When I downloaded the app, there were a lot of available games under location specifics. I chose the first, which was titled Lakeshore Tour. The main purpose of this game was to locate different things on the path based on your location. It was really interesting to see the different views they had, which included a GPS view and an aerial view. The app was very accurate when it came to location the different locations

It is interesting that the app ran smoothly for you. In my experience the app wasn't all that responsive and this made me not want to keep playing. Perhaps the problem here was the fact that I used an iPad rather than an iphone with data connectivity?
