ARf, an Augmented Reality Virtual Pet on the iPhone

This is a first peek at an augmented reality virtual pet game being developed for the iPhone in the GVU Center's Augmented Environments Lab at Georgia Tech. The game is far from done, but there's enough to it right now to show off some of what will be possible. (Kudo's to Kimberly Spreen for getting this going). More info can be found here http://www.augmentedenvironments.org/lab/2008/11/28/arf-iphone-peek/

LoL. Sony just released a demo video of Eyepet for PS3. You guys better get cracking on ARf or someone might beat you to the punch now that Sony has brought AR virtual pets to the public's attention.

I'm not too worried; doing a "real" version of ARf (e.g., Nintendogs in AR) is way beyond what we can do in a research lab. If someone wants to finance an AR Game Studio for me, I'll be happy to work on it. :)

cool, but the movements of the dog could be a bit smoother in the final version. Nice work! 5 stars ;)

[AELatGT]

yes, definitely. Right now, it's just a tech demo, mostly to evoke what "it could be" ... there are lots of things we could do (and would love to do!) if we could release AR games in the app store ... :)

I saw this in 2007. My teacher's son came to my school to demonstrate it. The dog, it's bowl, a ball, I saw everything.

@Bil1ie but this video was made 3 years ago, maybe its not being made

[Bil1ie]

@SgtPepperFTW13 maybe, just maybe because it hasn't been released yet? You could try to read the description by yourself too!!

[SgtPepperFTW13]
