• Hidden Treasure at MobileHCI 200814:44 / 31-08-2008

  It may be one of your favorite mobile hobbies, it may be something that you never heard of before: geocaching.

  Almost 640.000 of these caches are hidden across the globe, and one brand new cache is waiting for the MobileHCI 2008 visitors. It is an "event cache", which takes place on Tuesday 2 September 2008, from 16:15 until 16:45, very close to the conference venue, and partly overlapping the last workshops and tutorials break. Be there in time, log the cache and return home with an unforgettable experience (in addition to MobileHCI 2008 visitiors you will meet other geocachers) and maybe a nice geocoin to drop in your home country. For more information about the event cache, check out
