The mobile controller for S-ARGAME gaming platform that include the visual calibration tool and the mobile touch gamepad. S-ARGAME is a spatial augmented gaming platform, where the games and experiences are projected on walls and buildings using a standard Mac/PC and a Projector. In order to calibrate the image, and control the games, users can download the iOS S-ARGAME Controller app and connect to the running local server (a local Mac/PC connected to the projector), using a throw-away authentication code. After the connection the user can both access the calibration function, which uses the mobile device internal camera to take a picture of the wall and performs image recognition on the server, as well as controlling the games with a virtual gamepad displayed on the mobile device screen.
