We have a few sample games up to get the ball rolling and will be making a formal pitch for game developers in the next 30 days. Until then, we are doing private beta testing and getting the authoring tool looking sharp.

Here is the iTunes Link. Tell us what you think!

Now game authors have the ability to describe their games to the players and give them an icon.

Players can decide on a game nearby, find the authors and see how many players are involved right now.

The Camera Tool In game GPS Recording Video Audio Recording Tool Google Earth Import

ARIS now allows players to capture geo-tagged audio recordings, photos and videos! The best part is that this activity fits into the standard requirements system so the game can know whether they have taken a sample at a particular location. This means new NPCs can appear, new conversions are possible, etc once a particular “data collection quest” is complete.

To get the data back out, ARIS is generating a .kml file so back in the classroom the activity can be debriefed and the media files can be collected and remixed. Here is a sample kml feed from the development server.

We are really excited to see how this will play out in practice in the ARIS 1.0 release coming at GLS on June 9th.
