ARhrrrr – An augmented reality shooter
Posted on March 21st, 2010 by admin
ARhrrrr is an augmented reality shooter for mobile camera-phones, created at Georgia Tech Augmented Environments Lab and the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD-Atlanta). The phone provides a window into a 3d town overrun with zombies. Point the camera at our special game map to mix virtual and real world content. Civilians are trapped in the town, and must escape before the zombies eat them! From your vantage point in a helicopter overhead, you must shoot the zombies to clear the path for the civilians to get out. Watch out though as the zombies will fight back, throwing bloody organs to bring down your copter. Move the phone quickly to dodge them. You can also use Skittles as tangible inputs to the game, placing one on the board and shooting it to trigger an explosion.
One of the inspirations for this game was the game Joe Warpin, from our Handheld Augmented Reality games class (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62cbXp1rO6s ).

It will hardly cost a couple grand; the dev kit is expensive (the nature of such things), but phones based on Tegra won’t be any more expensive than other high end phones (N900, iPhone 3Gs, Nexus One, etc).

Actually, the Tegra …
Actually, the Tegra (1st gen) hardware in this dev kit is in the Zune HD (which, admittedly, is not programable). More interestingly, the Tegra2 is out (and it’s WAY more power) and will be coming out in phones this year, I expect.

Yea, the Tegra Dev kit is what they call the device, as I said probally won’t be publicly available to buy until like 2017 >_>

This device (The one with the cameras and NVidia graphics engion). Will cost a couple grand I think so…this will take about another 10 yeras to come out for like 200 dollars. :/

It looks fun, but unless this handheld is cheaper than a PSP or DS which already have a huge collection of games, I doubt I will ever buy this thing.
