Making scalable location aware mobile apps

One great use of the mobile phone’s ability to know its location in the world is to deliver a rich user experience that relates to that location. For example, a location aware mobile app can tell stories to the user that convey the rich history and culture of a neighbourhood, as in the Guardian’s Streetstories, or influence the moves a player can make in a fun-filled game like Escape from the Tower.

In this white paper, we will explore the issues involved in scaling content-rich, location aware mobile apps to meet those emerging needs. To get a feel for the type of experience we have in mind, consider a user scenario generated in the City Strata project.
