Creating information technology solutions for society's most pressing challenges
CalDay Photo Hunt is a smart phone “token-type” game launched at CalDay 2011. Players receive a list of prompts (types) and must find and photograph the best examples (tokens) on the Berkeley campus, such as “Typical Cal Student, Quintessential Berkeley, Most Menacing Squirrel, and Best Use of Public Funds.”
