This week’s buzzword: Augmented Reality

Since iPhone 3gs came out with it’s compass everyone has been talking about augmented reality. So we jumped on the bandwagon. In two weeks I’ve made a full on game for augmented reality on the iPhone complete with skin animated butterflys, full UI, and fairies with fast beating wings. And it’s fun, too!

We can show as many butterflies as we want- it shares the animation results and only processes it once a frame. I really like the engine I wrote over this last couple years. It’s sad that the other projects it’s been in haven’t been very commercially sucessful. This project is different- it’s not being held back anymore. Now that it reads Interface Builder files directly it doesn’t need a secondary user interface engine.

This time around we finally have an honest to goodness technical artist. Every 3d house must have one, and we have a great guy!

Dunno when the publisher will release it but I’m excited about how fast and well we made it!
