A HiperGeo is a GPS guided walking tour for your mobile phone. (Android 2.3.3 and higher.) The HiperGeo Editor allows anyone to create HiperGeos for others to discover, follow with their feet, and enjoy. The basic ingredients are images, audio files, and videos that are placed in space; as the user navigates with a GPS interface on their mobile devices, they find author-defined locations and trigger the author's media at those locations. HiperGeos can be created by anyone who can create web media! HiperGeo is designed with students and teachers in mind, so that any new media teacher in any classroom can do a lesson in locative media, and motivate students by giving them a vehicle through which their digital media can be displayed in geographic space. And, there is NO CHARGE to start creating projects.
