It’s unfortunate, but AR or Augmented Reality games are still something of a novelty.

While games like EyePet, Kinect titles like Raving Rabbids and Nintendo’s 3DS have demonstrated how it’s possible to bring the virtual world into real-life (or vice versa), not every game is able to make use of this exciting avenue for videogames mainly because players aren’t always guaranteed to have a camera on all platforms.

Does this kind of experience interest you and what further applications can you imagine for AR gaming?
