Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. SpecTrek is an augmented reality ghost hunting game. The game won second prize in the "Android Developer Challenge II" lifestyle category and is now also available for the iPhone. SpecTrek was designed to have the user work-out whilst playing the game, the tag line for the game is "protect the world, stay in shape." There are three default games to play, short which lasts 15 minutes, medium which lasts for 45 minutes, and long which lasts for 75 minutes. SpecTrek projects ghosts at various locations on a Google map in either a predetermined search radius or a user defined search radius. To play the user must walk to these ghosts, if within range the user can scan and find out what kind of ghost is nearby as well as how far said ghost is from their current position. If the user so chooses they can blow a ghost horn once every 10 minutes which makes all nearby ghosts flee.
