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.

It had to happen.

To promote the film “Gamer”, they decided to create a website where you can interact with some lapdance girls.. As I said before: It had to happen! I bet I will have to create a new category for this kind of apps..
Only one question: Is there any connection between lapdance girls and the “Gamer” movie? I guess we’ll have to wait until its on the big screens.

Here you have a nice video explaining how the game goes.. (you’d better be over 18 years old!)

Comic-Con 2009 was the first entertainment convention where AR made a big splash. More and more people are now being introduced to Augmented Reality, and 2010 is looking to be a banner year as movie studios, toy companies and publishers begin to embrace the technology.

A good example of this situation is Mattel, who came up with a new AR Game concept using this technology to display interactive “holograms” that fight each other, inspired on the film “Avatar” from James Cameron. Check the video below.

Before the first phase of augmented reality has taken hold, the Cartoon Network is already claiming to have launched a ‘next-generation’ AR campaign to promote its ‘Incredikids’ show.

Cartoon Network: were first with next-generation AR

Cartoon Network: we're first with next-generation AR

The Turner Broadcasting-owned channel reckons it’s the first to use AR technology to create an ‘interactive 3D gaming experience’ for children. (???)

According to the broadcaster, the Incredikids AR game can be accessed without user downloads, creating a ‘brand new’ form of ‘instant play’ gaming.

The AR app comprises three interactive virtual environments – an urban racing scene, an underwater submarine and a futuristic space chase – set within a five-level game hosted on the show’s dedicated website.

Participants are encouraged to battle against Incredikids villain Syracticus Lazarus before uploading their scores to a game leaderboard so they can compete against each other.

“There’s nothing like this out there,” claimed Barnaby Dawe, vice president of marketing and communications at Turner Broadcasting. “We’re championing true digital marketing innovation.”

The launch of the AR game forms part of a wider digital marketing drive promoting Incredikids. Activity includes a social media drive across key children\s sites, including Vizwoz.
