The ambition is to involve the public in an interactive fashion to elements and events that are based or take place on the location. We think of designing a game structure which allows the public to connect in real time to the landscape and to advanced technology, preferably technology that is related to aviation, therewith retro-actively linking to its past as a military airbase. Involving the public means establishing meaningful interactions and dialogues between people and things, taking advantage of modern technology of the Internet of Things and People, where everyone and everything is wireless connected, where things and people can exchange information in real time. Things will talk to people, people to people and things to things. The public will experience reality and augmented reality in real time. The augmented reality will be experienced in a multitude of worlds, as in a sequence of levels and degrees of difficulty in the Airbase game.

The public will rent a MyDrone as a personal guide. That drone will stay in a maximum distance of 50m to the visitor and guides the visitor through the entire park. MyDrone has behaviour of itself, it invited you to follow it, and otherwise is navigated by the visitor as well, there will be an interactive negotiation between the person and the thing. This interaction will be an element of play in the Airbase Game. MyDrone may be equipped with sensors, a camera and a laser pointer.

The public will be euiqpped with MyTablet, which will give you access to alien worlds, fancied realities overlapping with the reality that physically surrounds you. You as the visitor will see your drone in your tablet [MyDrone in MyTablet] when in the field of vision and fly out of your tablet into the real world when out of your perspective view on the virtual world.
