Manhattan Story Mashup was an urban game and a large-scale experiment on mobile sensing. MSM was organized in New York on September 23rd, 2006, as a part of Come Out & Play Festival. The game bridged global and local, physical and virtual worlds through a novel combination of an asynchronous web site-based access, GSM-based locationing and camera-phone based player inputs.

Virtual Graffiti is a horizontal application currently under development in NRC Toijala. Users' movement is tracked and they can leave virtual tags in their environment. These tags can include pictures, music, video or text. Other users are can watch and comment on the tags.
Viral Research Toolkit demonstrates a novel paradigm for rapid experimentation. Our
software platform, running on mobile terminals, executes short and robust pieces
of code and passes them to the surrounding devices. The viral codes
collect data while they spread and send it to the backend server.
