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.

THE VIDEO GAME COMES TO LIFE ARStrikes Duel turns two compatible phones and two mechanical Game Rigs into one face-to-face augmented-reality match. Mount each phone above its pistol, pull the trigger, move through real space, and let the app keep the action synchronized and scored. FACE-TO-FACE DUEL Compete against another player in the same physical space. Move, aim, react, and manage the match through live game feedback: • Real-time scoring • Health and hit feedback • Ammunition and reload mechanics • Sniper mode • Fast rounds made for rematches CONNECT AND PLAY Each player activates Duel access on their own device using a code provided with the physical ARStrikes Duel product. One player creates a private room, and the app displays a QR code. The second player scans the code to join, and the live match begins. The two phones need an internet connection through Wi-Fi or cellular data to remain synchronized throughout the Duel. PHYSICAL TRIGGER INPUT The ARStrikes pistol uses a mechanical trigger that produces physical feedback and a distinct click. The phone’s microphone detects that click and registers it as a shot. The Game Rig requires no batteries, Bluetooth connection, cable, or projectile. WHAT YOU NEED • Two ARStrikes Game Rigs • Two compatible phones • A valid Duel activation on each device • An internet connection on both phones • Camera and microphone permissions • A clear, well-lit play area No account or subscription is required. Phones and Game Rigs are not included with this app download. Eligible physical ARStrikes Duel products include activation access for their companion app. Play responsibly.
