Monkeybridge - A Collaborative Augmented Reality Game (2004)

Monkeybridge is a multiplayer game, where users place real and virtual objects onto a physical surface, thus influencing the behavior of the characters.The characters autonomously choose: the path the walk on; decide how to get from one platform to the other, e.g. climb or jump when there is a slight difference in height between platform edges; automatically choose the straightest path from several available tiles; and fall into the water if there is no suitable piece of landing stage to walk on. The game includes many spectacular virtual and physical visual elements such as animated 3D ocean waves, a flock of virtual seagull boids, a physical volcano with real smoke and a lighthouse with rotating lights. Sound effects enhance the game experience.

Very nicely done. I'd use the second option, siply because the first has the problem with "nudging" of cameras.
