The challenge
Our team had the idea to create a Pokemon-Go like game with the Google Tango SDK on the Yellowstone Tablets. Anticipating a wider release of the Tango features across Android phones and tablets, it gave us a peek into the future of Augmented Reality.
Our contribution
The game had a very lean and accessible User Experience. You could create a new game, which instructed you to create a maze by walking forward holding the tablet in front of you. Every corridor and turn was saved on the device, until you decide to finish the maze. A finished maze could then be loaded in the game mode and was automatically filled with blue balls and ghosts. It was now your task to catch all the balls in the shortest time, without running into a ghost.
Adrenaline-shot guaranteed !
