Abstract
The advent of mobile gaming brought about a new age of how video
games are regarded in the context of mobility. Previously, a person would
have to own a specialized gaming device that enabled them play on the
move. Devices such as the PlayStation Portable and Nintendo’s series of
GameBoy devices made this a possibility. However, mobile games have
always offered a constraint on the type of interactions they offer players.
A mobile game is only as enjoyable as the quality of information it
displays on the screen and how it displays this information. A new way of
viewing the game world would create a new type of interaction for
players, and create a new way for them to enjoy mobile games.
This paper reports on the project Augmented Reality: Capture the Flag,
which offers a solution to the problem of mundane interactions by using
augmented reality as a means of extending the screen of a mobile device.
Augmented reality will attempt to reconcile the real world with the game
world, creating an illusion of the game world existing in the physical
world.
