Lightbug:
Augmented Reality Prototype
This is a short video and prototype game I
produced for some friends
that were pursuing their MBAs at London Business
School. The idea of
Lightbug is to use augmented reality for marketing
purposes. Users
point their phone's camera at a Lightbug
compatible product to see
information and consumer reviews overlay the
onscreen camera view, or
play 3D games involving the brand. The video below
was based on the
idea of a sporting good store enticing customers
to enter the store by
providing a basketball game where each basket
awards a discount. The game was made with an early
beta version of the NyARToolkit for Android as a
way to experiment with AR. I like
to think that this video helped a few business
students get their
degrees.
