A VisionAugmented reality gaming!•With these smart phone thingies, gameplay
can depend on things that are happening in the real world• You can only shoot people who are physically
within range of your ICBMs• Price of digital representations of real-world
things can depend on real-world demand

A RealizationLocation is hard.•Where do we get all this data: real-time
foot traffic, bus schedules, checkins, reviews, business listings, tagged photos...
•Once we have it, where do we put it...•Once we have all the data, and we’ve put it
somewhere, how do we understand it...

What’s SimpleGeoA set of simple tools that will help you make your projects geo-aware•Marketplace: uniform interface to lots of
interesting geo-data•Storage Engine: REST API for storing and
querying geo-data•Analytics / Intelligence: Coming soon... in
fact, I probably shouldn’t even be talking about this. Forget I even mentioned it.

MarketplaceConnects people who have geo-data with people who need geo-data•Available now: free layers containing U.S.
business listings, global place names, weather data, earthquake data, etc.
