@pior- i think your concerns cant really be handled with ar. Something like that will require actual holograms which are far beyond the modern consumer, however currently possible to some limited extent. I think that AR gaming will help to pave the way to holographic gaming in the decades or more to come.
The problem right now is to get the real world interpeted and intergrated into the virtual world. AR tracking is not that easy and if you want proper AR, you need to map out the real world first and have some kind of locator sensors. Did some AR at university and you had to move the camera real slow to avoid it losing its…
OK, someone was talking about AR Tower defense: http://cellagames.com/artd.html You have to have Symbian OS S60 3rd edition smartphone to play (like Nokia N95)
AR sounds interesting. Related to gaming... I can see it for the Wii/casual gamer, but I think hardcore gamers expect to see more something like VR glasses and 2D/3D holograms.
So far this is the most polished AR game I've seen(aside from that PS3 cadr game).. something I think I'd actually enjoy trying if only for the novelty of it. http://vimeo.com/1320756
This is something i've stumbled upon lately which i find absolutely fascinating. Augmented reality is the act of overlaying 3d elements on top of a live video feed using special markers in attempt to augment your reality. Though this technology has existed for some time, not many have heard of such a thing, except for use…
.... A few years back I had a phone that came with an AR game. It used the phone's camera for video capture and overlayed a crapload of mosquitoes that you then shot down. T'was fun for a little while, till I got bored shooting bugs off my brother's bald pate.
Here are a few more things that caught my eye in the past: - http://www.bcrumbz.com Not a game, but using it to map out treasure hunts and whatnot for other people is still ridiculously cool. - http://blog.tmcnet.com/blog/tom-keating/google/gps-google-android-wifi-army.asp This is what I was talking about with the AR…
Eventually i'd like to program and design for AR games that utilize compact headsets. The technology for that exists already for young children to bring story books to life in 3d, we just need to develop it further to be faster and more accurate even without markers or a great lighting setup. I mean, you could play a first…
@Runo- is is essentially that, except in movies and such all the camera movements are tracked and recored then later on after its filmed those camera movements are applied to the virtual camera in the 3d world. What AR does is uses something as simple as a webcam to track just a marker on the screen and while you are…
