A mobile phone Augmented Reality game?

ARhrrrr is an augmented reality shooter for mobile camera-phones from the Augmented Environments Lab. The phone provides a window into a 3D town overrun with zombies. By pointing the camera at the special game map virtual and real world content is mixed. The objective of the game is the following; civilians are trapped in the town and must escape before the zombies eat them. From a vantage point in a helicopter overhead, the player must shoot the zombies to clear the path for the civilians to get out. Skittles can also be used as tangible inputs to the game, placing one on the board and shooting it to trigger an explosion.

One of the most interesting AR games I have seen yet, check out the project website at http://www.augmentedenvironments.org/
