Geo Fence
It’s the first time I’ve heard about a geo-fence (just found it on wikipedia) sounds like a great idea that you could track someone into an unauthorised area by tracking there mobile phones. See the Register article about it here. Just one small thing unless I’ve missed something what happens if the mobile phone is turned off and you walk into the area! For general purpose where were you at the time its good technology to ‘potentially’ prove you were in a certain location.
I have to admit I’m not the best person recently to ensure that I have my phone on my all the time and sometimes I have it on me but there is no charge in it! The technology and idea sounds great but to secure something like the olympics it sees flawed. Now I suspect there will be more than just geo-fencing meaning CCTV and personel around to catch these people with there phones off or left at home.
I can see some great use for this technology in the realm of mobile games that are coming along, where you play against people in the really world. It would mean that there could be boundaries to the game and points off if you went outside this area. Maybe that will be the next big thing in mobile reality gaming….
