My name is Scott Reilly. My burning man acquired name is Simmer. I’m a retired mechanical engineer that has been working with communities in the Detroit area. I lead a team of activists who are helping people vote. The voting rate in Detroit averages about 30% during a presidential election. I spoke with some of the Niantic folks at the AWE conference about the creation of an AR enabled game that would help the underserved understand the power they have if they vote. I was encouraged to submit the proposal to Niantic Ventures. I’m in the process of fleshing out the idea before i fill out the forms. I’m looking for potential partners to create an engaging game that teaches while entertaining. Watch this space or reply if this sounds like something you might be interested in.
