摘要
Location-Based Services (LBS) have entered the discussion in the early 1990ies, but they have not yet achieved a real breakthrough. Here, "Mobile Location-Based Gaming" (MLBG) could bring about the change. Location-based services may well achieve wider recognition because of the human play instinct. This work introduces MLBG and the adventure game "Mobile Hunters" - an implemented MLBG that uses the currently available cellular phone network to create a virtual playing field that represents the real world. This innovative way of playing seems strange at first, but it proves to be a helpful step towards context-based value-added services.
