ABSTRACT

Previous research has proposed that authoring tools for location-aware mobile experiences should be extended to reveal the usually hidden ubiquitous computing infrastructure to designers so that they can take account of its characteristics when placing digital content. This paper explores this idea in practice, describing how a suite of such authoring tools has evolved through an iterative process of collaborating with artists to create a location-based game. Reflections on the design process identify the need to support the mobile capture, verification and annotation of mapping data 'in the field' and the visualization and use of this data back 'in the studio' as part of a tightly integrated workflow. We also identify the need for more powerful visualizations that can deal with multiple layers of information representing different locations and networks, and that can move between abstract and detailed views of the data on demand.
