levelHead
Wow, what a mindblowing use of augmented reality!
levelHead is an augmented reality spatial memory game (wicked title, isn’t it?).
What is levelHead?
Here’s the explanation what levelHead is from the web site:
levelHead uses a hand-held solid-plastic cube as its only interface. On-screen it appears each face of the cube contains a little room, each of which are logically connected by doors.
In one of these rooms is a character. By tilting the cube the player directs this character from room to room in an effort to find the exit.
Some doors lead nowhere and will send the character back to the room they started in, a trick designed to challenge the player’s spatial memory. Which doors belong to which rooms?
There are three cubes (levels) in total, each of which are connected by a single door. Players have the goal of moving the character from room to room, cube to cube in an attempt to find the final exit door of all three cubes. If this door is found the character will appear to leave the cube, walk across the table surface and vanish.. The game then begins again.
About this video
As yet unseen footage of the first stable version of levelHead, an augmented-reality spatial-memory game by Julian Oliver. Warning! This is a spoiler for the first 3 cubes: the easy Red Cube, the tricky Green Cube and the ridiculously difficult Orange Cube
levelHead has been designed and created by Julian Oliver who seems to be working with his SelectParks team on several interesting projects connecting art and technology in really creative ways.
C++ source code has been released under GPL license and is available online for everyone who wants to play this game and is brave enough to build it.
