Location Based System

A location based system or LBS is an interface containing GPS, or another means of absolute positioning, which only functions as desired within a certain physical area, yet is still connected to the web at large. Typical uses include augmented reality interaction where clues or premade information can only be collected by visiting anchored physical objects.
