“For me, the cool thing is doing things that could only be done in gaming. “ – Warren Spector
Game developers have been the earliest adopters of Augmented Reality technology. Gaming industry is very competitive, which calls for constantly developing new games, techniques and methodologies to capture the attention of users. This has become more important when ADD (attention deficit disorder) is more common than ever before.
Augmented Reality technology in games has evolved over time, some of the recent examples of this advancement are games like Pokemon Go, Mario, Tetris etc. With each new release the standard that these games have set keeps going higher.
AR uses computer generated objects and superimposes them on real life objects. Through this process, the AR games become more engaging, at the same time players can relate to them. This makes the gaming experience very immersive and realistic.
Augmented Reality changes the perception of the real world, and this is the reason it stands out from all other technologies in this space. It is alluring to games and developers alike. It is a good investment on one hand for game developers and provides an amazing gaming experience to games on the other.
Gaming industry has always been at the forefront of adopting new technology. AR has opened the gates to new opportunities and experiences for gamer and developers. The experiences which were un-thought of in past, have been made a reality in games these days using AR technology.
