  • Location-Based AR Games – Innovating Gameplay & Interaction

    Šarūnas Ledas, Co-Founder & CEO at Tag of Joy, delivers an AR Lounge Session at XR Connects Helsinki 2017.

    The release and success of Pokemon GO, showed that location-based Augmented Reality (AR) games can be first class citizens among other mobile products. Yet, the design and storytelling in location-based AR game can be implemented in non-traditional ways and this area is not widely explored yet. By accepting and understanding new technical possibilities and restrictions, location-based AR game developers should be able to create new experiences, not possible in other types of games.

    In this talk we will share our observations and experience gained designing and developing a location-based AR game “Monster Buster: World Invasion”. We will tackle various game design and some technical problems and will provide answers to questions like:

    • How to tell engaging stories in AR?
    • How to deal with session length in location-based AR games?
    • How to adapt classic RPG game design to a location-based AR game setting?
    • How to expand your audience and keep people engaged beyond those that like to walk a lot?
