Play the Settlers of Catan board game using AR and holograms
If you’re a fan of board games, you’ve probably played, or at least heard of, Settlers of Catan. Now imagine being able to play it in an interactive AR (Augmented Reality) game space! Okay, maybe it won’t add that much fun to the game, since the game is already pretty fun, but it will probably add to Wow factor. I mean, just look at the players (actors?) in the trailer video!
This setup is brought to you by Tilt 5. According to the site, “Tilt Five is an entertainment system provider that uses proprietary augmented reality (AR) glasses, a retroreflective gameboard and a wand controller to engage players in 3D holographic games. Founded by a team of technical visionaries with decades of experience working for consumer technology leaders such as Valve and Google, Tilt Five aims to provide a comfortable, social and immersive AR experience for consumers.” The company is headed by Jeri Ellsworth, “a lifelong gamer, inventor, and creator and one of the world’s foremost AR luminaries.”
