Augmented Reality Gaming Brings Street Fighter Characters Into The Real World
Augmented reality gaming has yet to really take off, existing more as an interesting concept that developers are exploring. However, this demo by Abhishek Singh may be a sign of things to come.
Singh calls the demo a "multiplayer AR game" and it's obviously a little rough around the edges, but the concept is there, with 3D model versions of Ryu and Chun-Li fighting in a real world setting. You can watch the whole demo right here, with Singh using the phone interface to navigate fights and perform combos.
It's worth noting this is an in-house demo not authorized by Capcom, so it's unlikely this will be distributed for public play.
