We have also launched an opensource project called ARIS (Augmented Reality and Interactive Storytelling) that uses a server and could support multiple clients. Right now all of our work has gone into the iPhone but we would love to get going with Android soon. Check out arisgames.org to see last summer’s version. We should have 1.0 out on the app store by this summer.

Of course now that they are going away I switched to MIT’s version. Do you know of any other platforms that can be used to create these games. I have a set of older cell phones in my room running windows mobile 6.1 with gps. My students loved these games and I have found that they retain knowledge a really seem to get into learning in these type of environments.
