Geoloqi: Non-visual augmented reality Open Source Bridge
1 like1,506 views
This document discusses the development of a non-visual augmented reality system called GeoLoqi that allows users to share their location in real-time. It aims to address issues with existing location sharing systems by building on open standards and allowing finer-grained privacy controls. The system will be developed first for iPhone and Android, with initial versions focusing on location logging, Geonote messages, and maps before adding more social features. Beta testing is planned to begin on July 1st.
