GDC 2017: It is without a doubt that location-based games have transformed the market this year with blockbuster titles including Pokémon Go and Zombies, Run! taking over the world. Players young and not so young have been seen moving around streets and venues, interacting with the world around them pocketing virtual points or scanning surroundings.
Because entertainment of this kind relies on GPS for location, players are largely limited to playing outside, and poor positioning results in urban areas or inside buildings can lead to compromised game performance and gamer frustration.
sensewhere extends the location-based gaming experience indoors and provides better user experience with greater accuracy and coverage everywhere. We can also detect GPS fraud to prevent cheating.
sensewhere’s vast database pumps all the location data into the airwaves of these as yet untapped big buildings. Bringing gaming indoors is a big win for retail shops and venue operators as they can use virtual game rooms to draw gamers into or near their place of business.
We will be showcasing sensewhere at the world’s biggest gaming trade show in San Francisco this March 1-3rd so to talk to us about this please contact Anna or Blake and visit us at stand 2116 in South Hall!
