Abstract
TaleBlazer is a platform for creating and playing location-based educational augmented reality games. This thesis describes the design and implementation of new indoor location-based functionality in TaleBlazer, based on the use of iBeacon technology. It describes how the new functionality can be used in indoor location-based games, and presents results from a pilot indoor game conducted with the Harvard Museum of Natural History.
