Abstract :
Reality guides aim at assisting, teaching or supporting the user in the real world. Among other things they are used to illustrate history, to educate students or to provide services to visitors. In this paper, we introduce three concept applications for reality guides related to history, entertainment and education. We reflect their design to theoretical frameworks on gameness and narrativity. We also present practical considerations related to the quality of content that affect the implementation of reality guide applications.
