    Killing zombies in AR

    Published at 14:18   Category Augmented Reality, Game  

    (The Laval Virtual wrap-up is still on its way, don’t worry ;)

    Fellow reader David Cochard, with Kimberly Spreen, created a project at Georgia Tech and SCAD-Atlanta with advisors Blair MacIntyre and Tony Tseng, an AR zombie killing game !

    It seems to be working really well, and the idea is simple and efficient. It runs on the nVidia Tegra architecture.

    Nice job David ;)

    3. It looks like ghost / zombie hunting in AR is going mainstream, even if it’s trackerless :)

    5. Pretty cool ! I guess that eating skittles doesn’t give extra weapon ?! :D

      The gameplay is very good and takes advantage of the technology. I like it !

      I really hope I’ll have the opportunity to work with you and Indira at the UTC again (maybe a Phd, that sounds like a great plan!)
