Mscapes overlay digital sight, sounds and interactions onto the physical world to create immersive and interactive experiences. Users equipped with a mobile device running the mscape player can move through the physical world, triggering digital media - including images, text, sounds, audio and video - in response to physical events such as location, proximity, time and movement, making for experiences that are unpredictable, memorable and entertaining. The most commonly used trigger is GPS, but a range of sensors can be used and combined, such as Bluetooth, wifi, Active RF Beacons and 2D Barcodes. Mscapes can be anchored to a specific location or work in a generic space, like a large playing field.
