PhotoFari, a new augmented reality puzzle game
Now, we haven’t yet tried this one out yet, but it sounds like a properly innovative idea. PhotoFari displays a shape on the camera viewscreen, then you have to find a shape in the real world that matches it – placing the onscreen shape over it to “win”… Read the rest
