Building a Mobile, Locative, and Collaborative Application

I wrote a postmortem on CatchBob! a treasure-hunt type, Wi-Fi based locative and collaborative mobile game I developed at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne, Switzerland. The document describes the whole development process, from the technical architecture to the user perception of the game. I talk about the positioning system, the data, the communication tool as well as the the user interface. I finish by introducing a few topics I find interesting in the field of locative media. This document addresses a large audience. Non-tech-savvy people should not be afraid to have a glance at it.
