What is Augmented Reality ? • Somewhere between physical and virtual • Where exactly? No one really knows • Usually: augment the physical world via
projections/cameras/AR goggles
Real Environment
Augmented Reality
Augmented Virtuality

Why is AR useful ?
• New design perspectives • Opens up interaction
space/possibilities • For games: it brings play in
everyday life • Gamification: enhances boring
tasks (e.g. work)

What is Game Technology ? • Games are SoA arenas for technology • Too much to do in limited time • Challenges for hardware
• Interaction devices, Consoles etc. • …and Software
• Graphics, Physics, Artificial Intelligence, Player Experience

Bringing Game Technology and AR together
• Rich virtual worlds • Intelligent Physical – Virtual
interplay • Digital Content Creation • Interaction devices as
positioning tools
AR
Interaction Devices
AI (NPC, Content
Creation)
Graphics

Positioning – role of • Positioning of physical objects (incl. humans) wrt digital
framework • Accuracy dependent on application (from AR books to Kinect)
and speed! • Boost AR: Cheap and accurate positioning solutions
• Camera • GPS • Infrared • Ultrasound • …
• Combinations are possible and powerful (Wii + Kinect)

The road ahead – Some ideas • Multi-player (Social AR Games) • Dynamic Content Creation (User-Driven) • Racing game example:
• Race tracks are generated based on your toys and your skill! • You play the tracks of your friends (vice versa) • Progress in virtual space access to physical space • Good game progress access to new physical components
(new cars/engines) • …
