‘Pokémon Go’: Why You Should Play BUT be careful about #Privacy

‘Pokémon Go’: Why You Should Play BUT be careful about #Privacy | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
From www.wsj.com - July 13, 2016 3:39 PM

Niantic Labs, partnering with Nintendo and Pokémon Co., released “Pokémon Go,” a free game for iPhones and Android phones. When you launch it, you see the game franchise’s world famous “pocket monsters” as if they existed in your backyard or bathtub. The point? To “catch ’em all,” as the kids say.

This is augmented reality, or AR, where your smartphone’s camera, GPS and position sensors tell the game what to display and where. It’s a digital world layered over the real one. Unlike virtual reality, which transports you to another universe, you play in your own.

Pikachu is the most well known Pokémon.
The technology isn’t new. Smartphones have had AR games for years, and even Nintendo previously released similar features for its 3DS hand-held device. This isn’t even especially good execution of AR. Which is why perhaps not even Nintendo predicted what happened next.

Photo Geotagging – How It Works & How to Disable It

Photo Geotagging – How It Works & How to Disable It | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
From internet-safety.yoursphere.com - July 9, 2012 6:17 PM

Geotagging: the process of adding geographical identification metadata to various media such as photographs, video, websites, [etc]. That’s the definition from Wikipedia.

 

If you’re still unclear on what this means, just imagine using your smartphone to take photos of your child at his/her school performance, then uploading them from your smartphone to a site like Facebook or Flickr, or directly to Twitter via a service like TwitPic or yfrog. Now imagine a complete stranger being able to pinpoint the exact location of where those photos were taken. Well, that’s what geotagging does. And it’s the same technology you’ll find in social networking services like Facebook Places or Foursquare.

 

Here’s a video that my good friend Sue Scheff forwarded to me. It gives you a nice glimpse into how geotagging technology works on your mobile device, and why you might want to consider disabling it on your smartphone, and your child’s.

So funktioniert die HTML5-Lokalisierung

So funktioniert die HTML5-Lokalisierung | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
From www.pcwelt.de - November 15, 2013 11:02 AM
Die HTML5-Funktion 'Geolokalisierung' kann Ihrem genauen Standort oft bis auf wenige dutzend Meter bestimmen. Wir verraten, wie das genau funktioniert.

 



So werden Sie geortet: Die betreffende Webseite sendet eine Anfrage zur Positionsbestimmung an Ihren Browser. Dieser fragt Sie, ob Sie Ihren Standort preisgeben möchten. Wenn ja, schickt er dem Dienst die Koordinaten. Zuvor muss der Browser den Standort natürlich orten. Wenn Ihr Computer oder Smartphone ein GPS-Modul hat und dieses aktiviert ist, wird es abgefragt. Alternativ verwendet der Browser die „Funkzugangsknoten“ Lokalisierung.


Dazu sendet er eine Liste der WLANs und Mobilfunkstationen der Umgebung zusammen mit deren Empfangsstärke an einen Lokalisierungsdienst, bei dem verzeichnet ist, welche Stationen sich wo befinden. Der Dienst errechnet daraus dann den ungefähren Standort und sendet ihn zurück an den Browser, der ihn nun wiederum an den standortbasierten Dienst schickt, etwa Google Maps.
