Going to the mall has become so routine nowadays.
Where's Waldo allows people to play a simple game of Where's Waldo, aided with key pieces of technology that everyone in first world countries have: smartphones. Where's Waldo allows for a easy interactive game of hide and seek amongst strangers. As you walk into a mall or large venue supported with wifi, you are connected with other users in the area. One person becomes "Waldo" and the other people are tasked with finding him given only a brief description and radar. Using Cisco's Mobility Service Engine API, the radar changes colors corresponding to how close they are to "Waldo". Once found, the app allows easy switching of Waldo's!
We aim to target anybody with a smartphone, from younglings to old-lings =). Even though this game has been proven through the ages, we hope it illustrates a potential use case in terms of light, family-fun gaming with indoor location services.
