  • Mapping the Space of Location-Based Services 5
    CHARLIEDETAR MAPPINGTHESPACEOFLOCATION- BASEDSERVICES 2 charlie detar Abstract This paper is an attempt to both summarize the current state of Lo- cation Based Services (LBS), and to unpack and problematize the underlying assumptions on which they operate. Location based ser- vices — including applications for mapping and navigation, social networking, gaming, and tourism and information services — are all based on the idea that information about a user’s location can be used to adapt the content and user interface of a service, improving it. However, the “location” used by these systems is usually restricted to data-poor representations such as geographic coordinates, and as such provides an insufficient cue for the rich and culturally contin- gent context embodied in the notion of a “place”. I will argue that developers should consider both the salience of the particular place- or space-based context to their application domain, and the potential impacts the application will have on a user’s sense of place when designing location based services. Contents 1 Introduction: Location, Location, Location 4 2 Space: the geometry of location 7 3 Place: the interpretation of location 12 4 Technology of space and place 17 5 Space, place, and location based services 22 6 Conclusion 45 7 Bibliography 46 1 Introduction: Location, Location, Location Location is a deep component of how we experience the world — it encapsulates not only a mathematical abstraction for our positions in space, but also a rich set of cultural meanings that we associate with particular places, which bound and contextualize our experience. The concept of “place” combines both geography and sociality — one has a “place” in relation to other people (and deviant behavior is “out of place”).

At the center of this are the conflicts you've been thinking about. For example, the plot can be defined as an action that will unfold no matter what the players do. These events will help players delve into history and take them to the heart of the story. An example of intrigue can be something like the murder of an important NSPCC, like a queen or a duke. Natural disasters are often used as a plot of conflict. They can also be associated with magical disturbances, such as the intervention of a dark wizard to create an even more interesting plot. Another issue that can help you is predicting the consequences of all players' actions, including the most unlikely. For example, if the player does not choose to complete the search, the kingdom can go after the hero by tracking him as a criminal [6]! 2 Draw the battlefield. This can range from a destroyed temple to an underground cave, anything is possible. Your drawing should not be a work of art, but using it as a reference will help coordinate the actions of players at the beginning of the fight Simple shapes and labels work perfectly when you make a battlefield. You can use squares to make boxes, green triangles for trees and, for example, rock circles, so you don't have to be an artist! Drawing on the battlefield can take some time.
