## What is Matter AR?

Welcome to MATTER AR, your gateway to virtual layers that exist alongside the physical world. Matter AR connects people, real locations & virtual content in unimaginable new ways!

PLAY - LaserTag (prototype). Battle against up to 3 other opponents in an epic battle royale multiplayer AR LaserTag game. Find a Battle Zone on the map, go to the location with your opponents, build your defences, then battle it out to be the last player standing.

Fire lasers and bombs at your opponents to deplete their health until they are eliminated. Hide behind virtual or real world objects to protect you, but watch out as virtual defences can be destroyed! 

LaserTag uses cutting edge AR and AI technology to recognise and localise against the physical environment and track players movement, creating dynamic real time gameplay. 

Battle results show wins, eliminations and points based on damage dealt. Your battle results contribute to your career points which are recorded locally on your device and shared with your opponents each time you battle!

Play SINGLE PLAYER mode from your home, survive as long as you can, collect weapons and power-ups, eliminate enemies to get a higher score and move higher on the global leaderboard!

CREATE - Sandbox - Everything you need to start building new worlds. Use Matter’s free, easy to use Augmented Reality creative mode to make your unique virtual content… integrate it with the physical world and allow others to find the new realities you create.

DISCOVER - Use the map to discover active locations near you, these locations have been created to allow you to multiplayer LaserTag battle, or build together and discover persistent virtual content in Sandbox. Don’t worry if there’s not a location near you, as Matter AR multiplayer will be available anywhere in the near future. 

SHARE - Capture and share photos of your Sandbox creations or LaserTag battles. Or Save and share your AR creations and LaserTag defences with a simple link.

### 5/5 — Creative Minecraft, but in the real world

*2023-04-10, version 0.1.1*

My son is crazy about Minecraft’s creative mode, so the idea of building things in augmented reality really appealed. Needless to say, he absolutely loves it. The way your creations stay in place around the house, or wherever you build them is quite amazing. A great idea, and we’ll done to the developers.

My kids love using it to create objects around the house and garden. So much fun for us and them!

### 5/5 — AR on my phone!

*2023-04-07, version 0.1.1*

Have not had much experience with AR and never on my mobile phone! Very cool app to play around with.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2023-04-04, version 0.1.1*

Downloaded this at it looked like a bit of fun, which it is but so much more! Really intuitive and easy to use. Will be great developing more structures and placing them in the real world and sharing them with the community. Great.
