SpaceTag是一个只能从有限的位置和时间段访问的对象。SpaceTag从中央服务器提供和分发，该中央服务器应该由服务提供商管理。SpaceTag系统的用户可以通过配备位置传感器的便携式终端和移动电话等无线通信设备访问SpaceTag。用户在城市中四处走动，发现只有在该地点才能找到的SpaceTag。因此，SpaceTag是一种不方便的媒体，但适合于游戏、广告、城市导航信息等。用户也可以将SpaceTag放置在他(S)所在的位置，附近的其他人可以找到它。此功能还支持本地公共通信应用程序。在本文中，我们将讨论为什么这个不方便但简单的虚拟平台可以支持数字城市的各种应用。我们还将讨论这些应用程序的社会影响。
SpaceTag is an object that can be accessed only from limited locations and time period. SpaceTags are served and distributed from a central server which should be managed by a service provider. Users of the SpaceTag system can access SpaceTags with portable terminals equipped with location sensors and wireless communication device such as mobile phones. Users walk around in a city and find SpaceTags that can be only found at the location. SpaceTag is thus an inconvenient media, but suitable for gaming, advertising, city guide information, etc. A user can also put a SpaceTag at the location where (s)he is, which can be found by other people nearby. This feature also enables local public communication applications. In this paper, we will argue why this inconvenient but simple virtual platform can support various applications for a digital city. We will also argue social impacts of these applications.
