Since ARIS uses apple maps on the client I don’t think there’s a way to directly use these maps. In ARIS 1 there was a half baked version of adding custom maps that was pretty cool. I believe a lot of the api hooks are still in place and that it would not be a very expensive feature to add. I’d love...

Players should pick up where they leave off if they select “continue” but I could see design issues with locks or how players log in making it not seem that way (or perhaps you’ve found a bug). Can you describe a bit more what you’re hoping players to see and what seems to go wrong? The other forms ...

Good question! For me, plaques are very simple to imagine and edit. If I have no need for decision making or other complex interactions I use plaques. There are also differences in the screen layout. Plaques have their image or media at the top and then any text below. Conversations try to fill the ...

I don't know if we have one. The amount of personal information collected is pretty minimal, given that it is a geolocation tool. Your email is associated with your account, but your account name can be anything. The big thing is that ARIS asks you for a headshot when first logging in (though you do...

I don't know if this is related, but back when we switched to the new forum, my old ARIS password was not good enough for the forum software and I had many headaches trying to log in.

I'm guessing you mean Jane McGonigal? Yes, she's good and she will use the term "alternate reality" but it is often relevant to the work we do with augmented reality. The terms can be a headache too because increasingly AR is used to only talk about the visual mechanic of overlaying a came...

This is pretty extreme and will reset a lot of what your browser remembers about what you've done before. Just know that before you try it. Depending on how you use your computer, this may not be a big deal or it could be a large inconvenience.

Your plan sounds like a good way to segment your game. The first way I can think to do this is to have the "menu" conversation accessed by the players via the tab menu instead of via a usual trigger. To do this go to Game > Tabs. Create a new tab for you conversation. Then this menu to swi...

I think the closest you could get is running the app and iOS simulator inside Xcode, but this is quite a chore and requires a mac. ARIS runs fairly well on iOS devices of great age and often places like libraries may be able to loan out devices or even install new apps. So there may be some relative...

I am now able to get farther through the process. I do get a crash, not when the pic is taken but after I tap "done" when entering a public name.
