AR Invaders
I have recently been going through a phase of being obsessed with Augmented Reality apps and the possibilities of what we can design with them. So far one of my favorite examples is this game “AR Invaders.” AR Invaders allows you to turn any room or space into the playing field for your game. When the game starts you are given controls to shoot and then you start to aim and shoot at UFOs that appear to be flying around in the environment around you. The great thing about this game is it encourages you to stand up and get actively involved with the game you’re playing. I have not played it yet but there is also a multiplayer mode which I can only assume lets you be more involved. I am leaning towards working with augmented reality next year in my thesis and this app is a great inspiration for that.
