On Saturday the chaps from LocoMatrix will demonstrate how you can play games in real life and on your mobile at the same time. Their games use GPS to tell the game where you are, so you play in a virtual world while moving around the real one.
They’re bringing some GPS receivers to show the game but have a limited number, so this is a shout out: if you have a Bluetooth GPS receiver, please bring it to BarCamp then you and anyone you’ll lend it to can try out the LocoMatrix games.

Jay, Jon & Paul...
Can LocoMatrix be extended to allow sailing boats in an area like the Solent to report data (eg water depth, speed through water, etc) back to a website which then collates all reports from many boats and constructs and updates a new chart of the area? Seems like that might be a similar game to yours.
All the best with it
Jon
