Think out of the box! We’re looking for new ways to elevate our everyday experiences through augmented reality. How can AR be used with the music you’re Listening to? How can AR enhance historical landmarks in your city? AR can be everywhere.
Here are a few briefs we'd love to see tackled:
1. Content Persistence + Multiplayer
AR can happen anywhere. Create a location-based experience featuring digital content that persists across AR sessions, and is able to be interacted with by multiple users.
For example, imagine a digital garden at locations, at which users water flowers. These flowers then grow over time, for other users to return to the location and explore later
2. Multiplayer Mini-Game
Focused on fun with your friends, we’re looking for a multiplayer augmented reality mini-game, where users can jointly participate in an AR session and compete against one another, or work together towards a common goal.
3. Visual Effects (VFX)
Transform the world around you into a stunning, augmented reality experience by applying shaders and visual effects to the real-world environment.
4. Novel Use of VPS
Flex your creativity with our Visual Positioning System by using it in a new and interesting way. This can be for a single specific location, a set of locations, or an experience that works at any VPS location.
If this experience only works at certain VPS locations, part of the deliverable should include a video showcasing the experience at that location.
5. Lightship Maps View + AR
Displaying an overhead Map can be powerful. How can we combine the real-world map, with augmented reality, to create a unique experience?
6. Outdoor Sports mini-game using the real-world environment
Many sports can be played outside in the real-world. How can we use the power of augmented reality to understand the world around us, and create a digital, sports focused mini-game that leverages that understanding.
7. Open Submission
