Our idea for project re:act is pretty simple: We want to create a Capture the Flag Android game, which uses Augmented Reality. It is played in real life by real players in real time.
The game features teams which are playing in the real world against each other. There are flags scattered around cities which coorelate with points of interests. These flags have to be captured by the teams, by playing minigames and beating the highscore of the previous team. The individual players and teams can also place objects/items there, which fulfill different functions (e.g. bonuses).
The camera of the smartphone is used as a tool to display points of direction in the real world. It also displays flags and other user placed items.
Today we decided on the technology we are going to use on our project.
