I spent most of this morn hunting downwardly 3D-printed creatures which were hiding inward the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park inward London. There are xv of these creatures hidden roughly the park, which you lot tin detect amongst the Tales From the Park interactive map.
Tales of the Park is a novel digital sense created past times UCL’s Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis (CASA). Using an interactive map you lot tin hunt downwardly xv 3D-printed creatures which accept been placed roughly the park. When you lot locate a brute you lot tin fifty-fifty chat amongst it using your smartphone to larn to a greater extent than well-nigh the park.
If you lot accept Bluetooth together with location sharing on your smartphone the creatures volition automatically post you lot a notification when you lot are inward closed proximity.

It is pretty practiced fun tracking downwardly these creatures together with chatting amongst them to larn to a greater extent than well-nigh the park. Tales of the Park is also a corking representative of how the Physical Web together with Bluetooth beacons tin endure used to connect physical objects to the web. There is apparently a huge potential hither for information to endure attached to physical objects that passers-by tin together with thence access from their smartphones.
