I heard some disturbing rumours overnight, I am not sure if this is true but it needs investigation.
There is a new game being played by kids that is an augmented reality version of a video game. Basically it's played on a smartphone using GPS coordinates to find virtual treasures/prizes that have been scattered globally using GPS coordinates by the game makers.
Players have to roam around streets and venues using their phone like a head up video display to find virtual stuff hiding in corners, under chairs, behind trees, etc., etc.. These virtual prizes are superimposed on the real life scene by the game software. It's really a great idea, kids get exercise while playing the video games they love.
But apparently overseas paedophiles and low-life's have clicked on to this game as being the digital equivalent of a bag of lollies. They are allegedly locating prizes and sitting in wait for kids to come along. There is also talk on-line of child abductions, robberies and assaults.
It's shocking if true, that these scum-bags could switch on to this sort of opportunity so quickly. Hopefully the police do too!
