Hi, I'm very impressed by the overlay and avatar animation on the map. The video was excellent as well -- I think the background music set the mood very well.
Question: what's the point of the house? Also, does the avatar add anything when traveling virtually? I mean, you can already pan and zoom on the map without the avatar. In fact, dragging your avatar across the map takes longer than instantly zooming to that destination. So I'm guessing that Duo's primary goal isn't information access, but rather creation of community and hanging out. The idea of merging real world with virtual world is innovative, but I'm missing how that's attractive. I mean, Sims gives a complete virtual world that you can create and customize, and there is no physical limitation. This is fun. Flying through the real world through Google Earth is fun because you get to see far away places without actually being there. This is fun. But to combine both ... it seems to fail incorporating both qualities? It doesn't give unlimited structure. And although it does give real world information, such information can be retrieved much faster by a direct web search. I guess I didn't catch the focus of the application. Since only a video was posted, and no documentation, forgive me for missing the point. If I wanted fun, I'd play the Sims since it gives me more freedom to customize my world. If I wanted information, I'd do a web search or do some location based searches -- soon to become visually available by other applications too. But to mix fun + information seems neither: not fun and slow information. Could you clarify how Duo aims to attract customers? Thanks. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Challenge" group.
