Our friends at TIFF Nexus are hosting a day-long conference this Friday looking at locative media — that is, all those devices and apps that help us figure out where we are in the city so we can do more things in the city. Tools for living and games for fun. I’ll be hosting the “Locative Services and Augmented Reality App Lightning Talks” in the afternoon. TIFF has extending their “industry rate” of $60 (a discount from $99) to Spacing readers who wish to attend.
