Augmented Reality is Full of Zombies
- quizbiz 17y agoThis is great game that builds on real objects like a map on a table and skittles but why not as an iPhone app?
- sown 17y agoThey kept mentioning the Tegra by nVidia. It seems like this application would require a lot of power, the kind the iPhone can't produce (yet).
- froo 17y agoI watched this video and an idea immediately came to mind. Bastards!! Very cool demo, especially with the addition of the map on the tabletop. There is definitely possibilities here for cool stuff to be created. EDIT - One example I'm thinking of is AR overlays for pre-existing boardgames. For example, imagine playing settlers of catan with an AR 3D overlay, or oldschool randomised adventure games like Warhammer Quest using cardboard markers instead of miniatures and letting AR fill in the blanks.

- froo 17y agoI was over at a friend's place and tried this game out - the gameplay seemed pretty poor. To be honest, I think creating AR's for games that already have a very good track record for gameplay (eg, catan) is a better prospect than trying to reinvent the wheel and coming up with a square?

- Oompa 17y agoI always love when something Georgia Tech contributed to gets posted on HN.
- RK 17y agoMy back hurts just watching that guy play bent over the table like that... :) Other than that it was a a very cool demo.
- RK 17y agoWas this sponsored by Skittles or did they just use them because of the bright colors? Or do Skittles have well known anti-zombie properties?
- sown 17y agoZombies hate rainbows.
- blogimus 17y agoThey should add a black beast to the game (if there isn't one already). It would be a nice touch.
- TrevorJ 17y agoIt would be awesome if they made a zombie killing fantasy game like this on the iphone that overlayed the zombies lifesize into whatever scene you are in. Imagine fighting off an invisible zombie hoard in your local mall or at the bus stop. Multiplayer would be a blast as well.
