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.
