Augmented Reality Game Development

Other Places has become a catch all term for our virtual spatial experiments and this iteration of it is expressed as a Water Temple, a proof-of-concept level for a hybrid puzzle game that combines physical models with virtual gameplay experienced through augmented reality. Navigation is controlled by moving or rotating the physical model relative to the camera position on the smart device which is used to overlay digital information on the model as well as controlling other aspects of gameplay. Other virtual assets can be triggered through player interaction and levels can be changed by introducing new physical models which can be purchased, made, or 3D printed. The model used for the demo was cast from a 3D printed mold.
