Using the Mission Designer application, you’re invited to create your own mission using GPS coordinates.

Anyone with a GPS enabled phone can go through mission tasks, control checkpoints or complete their photo assignments, on a new kind of personal ARG.

The Flex application was developed by Orbster. Recently, at Ars Electronica, they were involved in Mission Future‘s location based hunt, with several GPS Missions around the conference venue.

I’m entrapped on the new online game / video for Nokia’s GPS device, the PND 500.

Nokia Black Box

Get a look at it and take the role of Christopher, who tries to sell his kites and gets in trouble while following the plot around a mysterious Black Box.

The interactive experience, from the folks who brought you The Passenger, is quite addictive so pay close attention and dare to solve the mystery. It took me a while (with a bit of help) but i survived to tell the story.

Immersive online narrative, impressive shooting and sound design. A winner.
