| Project Description |
discovARGeneva is an Augmented Reality location-based game for smartphones and tablets. The game consists in answering a few questions related to key places that are being visited by those participating to the “3D Geospatial Geneva showcase event." Each question has an associated hint. A hint is a short story that helps the player to find the correct answer of a given question. All the hints are placed on the route of the event and they are visible on the map (MAP view). As every hint is represented by the same icon on the map (blue circle with an “I” in the center), the player does not know which hint corresponds to his current question. This is the reason why the player has to use the AR View where the hints are represented by 3D numbers. Once the correct number has been identified (it is visible in the AR view), the user has to catch that number by getting closer to it (5 meters or less). When close enough to the hint, the corresponding story pops-up on the device’s screen. Read the story to find out the correct answer to your question but also to find out more about the place you are visiting right now. The game it’s not just a simple quiz but also a tourism guide providing valuable information about places or buildings around. Go for all the hints, even if you know the correct answers for some of the questions; you may discover new things about Geneva’s touristic places. |
