A strong commitment to the largest French and European R&D projects

The MAGELLAN project

MAGELLAN aims to make available an unprecedented scenario creation tool based on graphical design principles accessible to non-programmers, as well as more experienced users, to efficiently write and publish location-based multi-participant experiences. These outdoor mobile phone experiences are radically different from traditional video games or their mobile equivalent. They focus players’ attention on the real world around them as much as on the virtual world of the game.

MAGELLAN will produce a series of guides for the authors of location-based experiments that will serve as a reference for those interested as well as a fundamental document for future field research.
