Augmented Environments Lab

ARhrrrr!

ARhrrrr is an augmented reality shooter for mobile camera-phones. 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.

By merging graphics with props in the physical world, handheld Augmented Reality games pull the player through the small screen and into a larger merged play-space. Our primary motivation for this AR game was to explore fast-action first-person augmented reality, where the camera controls and movement that would typically require a mouse and keyboard are handled directly by simply moving the device. Advanced tracking technology allows the player to quickly zoom in and out and view the world at steep angles, making this a highly interactive and engaging game. Finally, we wanted to test tangible input mechanics, such as placing and shooting Skittles to trigger in-game events.

    Brilliant idea! I’ve blogged about it at http://www.notjustreality.com/lead-story/51-augmented-zombies-arhrrrr/

    Is this just a proof of concept for Indiecade or are you planning to get it into production?

  2. blair May 26th, 2009 6:58 am

    Right now it’s just a concept demonstration, but I’d love to take this (and similar games) into production; unfortunately, there’s no commercial device that can run such stuff yet. So, nothing will happen in that regard till there’s Tegra-based devices (or something similarly powerful) available to run it. And, of course, it would have to be financially viable.

    Blair, are you sure you couldn’t get this to work in some sense on a smart phone? Android has OpenGL built in, and the T-Mobile/HTC/Google G1 seems to have all the necessary sensors.

    Android doesn’t allow you to do native code yet, does it? So, we can’t do computer vision on the image. Plus, it’s camera (like the old iPhone) is poor quality. I think the next gen of Android phones may support JNI and a JIT, plus run on better hardware. That’ll be cool. Of course, we’d still need a real game engine to entice me to switch; Unity is ten kinds of awesome wrapped into a nice editor.

  51. blair June 17th, 2009 5:30 pm

    BTW, wikitude and Layar are pretty limited and not much more than tech demos; I don’t think either will actually get used much (although they’ll probably get downloaded a lot and get a lot of press).

  52. Andrew June 17th, 2009 7:39 pm

    I think some credit is due to an earlier game that had much to do with the inspiration for this game.

    Fair point, Andrew. It definitely was an inspiration, and did serve as one of the starting points for the game.

    Hi Blair,

    Can you port it to the new Iphone GS (should be quite close to the tegra ) ? you could sell this app very easly and that would finance a more sophisticated game that could run on a more powerful Iphone (Apple release one model per year).

    I would love to buy it, print a map on my printer, create map/games and share them/ fight online.

    would be fun.

    I imagine very well a map of my current office and my curent boss as target ;-) .

  103. blair November 25th, 2009 10:15 am

    It is running on Windows Mobile, actually; the Tegra dev kit runs version 6.5. Unfortunately, (a) I don’t have any high end production WinMo phones like the HD2, (b) we don’t have a license for the natural feature map tracker to use on any other platform, and (c) we have no funding to do such a port.

    BTW, the appeal of the iPhone is the store; porting to any other platforms makes no monetary sense till there’s a proven market. In this case, if some big company wanted to fund a student to do the port to another platform, I could probably find a student to do it.

  136. tony December 2nd, 2010 7:36 pm

    What software libraries are you guys using to develop these AR apps on the Tegra? Also, what is the status of this on Android?

  137. blair December 2nd, 2010 9:23 pm

    We used a software library that was the precursor to the Qualcomm AR SDK (the free one for Android that is now in Beta).

    We haven’t tried to do a port to Android; unfortunately, we do not have the resources to do so. This was a game demo, and would require some work to complete as a real game. If someone wanted to invest in it, we could probably find folks to do the port, though. :)

  138. tony December 2nd, 2010 10:23 pm

    I was just curious because I am a grad student looking to do some profiling of AR apps on various embedded platforms, Tegra 2 and OMAP 4 in particular. I just wanted to get something up and running that is somewhat optimized for the hardware. I’ve been currently using OpenCV to do some simple AR stuff, but, this is terribly slow on the Tegra.

    Hey,

    Where can this game be obtained for a Xperia X10?
    I don’t see a link on this site.

    Thanks,

    It isn’t yet available anywhere; if someone wanted to give us some funding, we could port to Android! :)

    I’d give you $30 for an Android version

    @Blair

    I have a Xoom Tablet and would like to see this ported to Android. How much do you need to port it to Android? You can make your money back on the app market!

    I and several of my friends would LOVE to play this, we would like to help but we are not programming inclined. Though I have done a little with AR. You guys should start up a kickstarter.com page to raise the funding. It’s basically like a pre-sale so you can raise the funds.

    So I guess it’s safe to assume this project is officially dead?

    Too bad, it looked like it was going to be cool.

  156. blair September 24th, 2011 7:29 am

    Perhaps not “dead” but definitely in suspended animation. We have no funding to keep working on it (either at the University or privately) so it’s not going anywhere soon.

  157. brauni September 25th, 2011 7:43 am

    It has the buzz, add it to kickstart. I know alot of ppl will spend some to get it to happen and get the game then!
