Human Circuit

Human Circuit was designed to be an experiment with AR virtual buttons. In this two-player game one teammate uses the phone to see a grid of electric bulbs on the target. Two of the bulbs are sparking and glowing blue. It is the job of this teammate to direct his partner where to lie so that both blue bulbs are being covered, connecting them together and creating a circuit! The catch is the other six bulbs are red and cannot be touched, or else the circuit shorts out. The teammate on the target must carefully position himself to only cover the blue bulbs. The goal of the game is to create five successful human circuits within a three minute window.

This game was created by Chris Sumsky (Georgia Tech) and EJ Layne (Georgia Tech) in the Qualcomm Augmented Reality Game Studio at Georgia Tech (‪http://www.argamestudio.org‬). This Qualcomm-funded research studio is a collaborative effort between the Augmented Environments Lab at Georgia Tech, and the Interactive Design and Game Development program at Savannah College of Art and Design. The Studio is led by Blair MacIntyre (GT), in collaboration with John Sharp (GT), Maribeth Gandy (GT) and Tony Tseng (SCAD).

This game was built for Android phones, using Unity3D and the Qualcomm AR SDK plugin (‪http://ar.qualcomm.com/‬).
