OUTLIVE – An Augmented Reality Multi-user Board Game Played with a Mobile Device

  • Conference paper
Advances in Computer Entertainment (ACE 2013)

Abstract

We present a mobile augmented reality that combines elements of traditional board games with digital game content. We designed a multi-user game play inspired by “Settlers of Catan” with real game elements and use a mobile device as “magic window” to enable the currently active player to see things that the other players can not see and to act without letting others know. This supports our objective to integrate a mobile device as central element for a “magic circle of play”.
