It's scary how much this sounds like the world envisioned by Daniel Suarez in Daemon: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daemon_(technothriller_series) Google has diverless cars, Glasses that overlay information on top of reality, and now is making a sort of game out of it.
It was like X-Files conspiracy theories meets The Game (the Michael Douglas movie). Sadly, it didn't last very long. I'm hoping this will do better.
Lots of interesting stuff going on in this space. Shadow cities is another one that's doing pretty well. The big question to me is, where's the Zynga of this world? Can you make casual location aware ARGs?
I tried playing Shadow Cities, and the interface was mostly confusing, so I stopped.
Foursquare is close, but it doesn't feel like a game at all.
I think I have a few invites to give out. Let me know if you'd like one.
P.S. I'm Resistance using the name drew
This is very reminiscent of EA's Majestic game: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majestic_(video_game) It was like X-Files conspiracy theories meets The Game (the Michael Douglas movie). Sadly, it didn't last very long. I'm hoping this will do better.
I actually thought it was a pretty cool concept from at least what little I played of it.

It seems to me that, with the ubiquity of smartphones and how powerful they're becoming, it's only a matter of time before there's a constantly-evolving digital facsimile of the real world. We've started to see how, for example, many geo-tagged photos can be reconstructed into a pointcloud (see Microsoft's Photosynth amongst others), and how everyone is now carrying a location-aware camera-computer in their pockets..…
