Surprise Beacons – Real Life Messaging
Why?
Take emojis and stickers offline to real life.
How?
Incorporate into messaging systems (Facebook, Viber, a new app just for this) the ability for users to “leave” messages, emojis and stickers at real life spots in the city. When the recipient approaches the spot, the system will either show him the message or guide him to the place (a game like hot-or-cold) and then show him. The spot can be a meaningful one, or just somewhere the sender knows the recipient will be like on route home.

Use Augmented Reality to Turn Chores Into Fun Games
Why?
Most of us don’t like doing chores like vacuum cleaning, washing the floor, making the bed, etc. How can we make it more fun?
How?
Use augmented reality (wearing smart glasses) help us gamify the chore. The app should be smart enough to create an award system (point, badges) based on the activity by measuring time, the number of things done, the area covered, frequency, etc. Also allow sharing and inviting others to compete and show leaderboards.

Augmented Reality Travel Games for Kids
Why?
You are on a trip with your kids. Teo problems you have: 1. The kids are constantly on their smartphone. 2. They are not all that interested in where you are and the interesting things to see there (monuments, museums, etc.)
How?
Create games for specific cities and points of interest that use the kids’ smartphone to play, while walking through the city. Use the phone’s location and camera to add activities to the games, like finding and discovering things, solve puzzles, collect stuff, etc. At the same time, they’ll learn a lot about the place while having fun.
