area/code has designed a gaming experience called SHARKRUNNERS for Discovery Channel’s website. The game uses real shark location data, and you chase them by captaining a virtual science vessel, and when you encounter a shark, you can send divers down for research, which can result in shark attacks! This is a great example of a virtual/real hybrid game, which have tremendous potential for educational and entertainment value.
