Game App
Augmented Reality is a method of delivering graphics that overlay onto your camera viewpoint. Instead of a virtual reality setup which is purely immersive, Augmented Reality adds the ability to dynamically interact between the reality of your perspective and the computer graphics customized to enhance your experience. While Augmented Reality is most commonly known as the method for introducing first down markers, red zones, and other graphics into NFL football games, and in blockbuster films like the Terminator series and Minority Report, Augmented Reality has also seen use in cutting edge applications like robotic surgery. As the latest advancement in visualizations systems, Augmented Reality has much in store for the gaming industry. Apple and Android have opened up the development floodgates with ARKit and ARCore, their development platforms for Augmented Reality, making it possible for anyone with a smartphone, tablet, or AR eyewear to access Augmented Reality apps using the camera as the source of the interface. Photorealistic graphics can render environments with virtual avatars of unprecedented verisimilitude and lifelike accuracy. 3D virtual objects can be manipulated and programmed with the ability to deliver real time sensory feedback for a fully immersive and interactive simulation experience. As pioneers in VMS, or Virtual Medical Simulations, DDA is excited about the future of Augmented Reality gaming and the many types of gaming landscapes that are waiting to be explored.
Need
There are a few industries that remain at the forefront of the development of visualization systems. Aviation for flight simulation is a good example, as well as the many types of advanced computer visualization systems used in the military and construction industries. Gaming is one of the leading activities seeking innovative and immersive techniques to keep the user fully engaged in an experience they want to repeat to refine their performance. Gaming has also proven to be a powerful way to advance a user's understanding of history, management, logistics, and many other skills, while being embedded in an enjoyable, entertaining gaming session. Augmented Reality combines immersive techniques of virtual gaming with the dynamic interaction of a user's camera perspective.
Benefit
While gaming itself will undoubtedly benefit from the incorporation of Augmented Reality into its interface design, it also has the potential to use entertainment to advance different types of learning. Memory Game aims to provide better tools for people to learn and retain information and appreciate many types of classical learning in an entertaining format.
Concept
Augmented Reality games are going to be a big part of the next wave of development for the future. Pokemon Go was just the beginning but is a testament to the effectiveness and immersiveness of the AR technology.
DDA has a number of game concepts we'd like to introduce to the market, ones that emphasize the interaction between the camera view and the computer graphics. Memory Game goes back to the tradition of the Memory Theater to test memorization skills and advance the long lost practice of memory retention.
Tools like Google and the iPhone, with its stored database of phone numbers, provide an unprecedented level of information access, but they also inhibit and disincentivize the need to remember crucial information. Memory Game uses the ancient practice of associating memorable imaginary places, people, and things into a memory landscape you can customize to enhance your memory, test your memory, and improve your ability to retain the knowledge you're gathering.
Education for the memory students of ancient Greece involved the construction of a large imaginary edifice, with specific details conjured by the student himself. In it they would populate memorable rooms with avatar guides in memorable gestures holding memorable objects. This spatial and virtual construct acted as a sort of architectural database to order and store information. With Augmented Reality, the Memory Game app can help people construct their own palace of memory with vivid accuracy.
DDA is an Augmented Reality app company with extensive experience across the entire spectrum of custom software development. Our first AR project was launched in 2009, and now, with the introduction of ARKit and ARCore, there's never been a better time to develop mobile apps for the communication industry. DDA is located just outside of Philadelphia, and our vertically integrated studio is made up of a team of highly experienced professionals. We received the Tabby Award for the Best Healthcare iPad App of 2012, and our logical step-by-step approach to innovation and comprehensive skill set enables us to take on any complex and challenging software project in-house, without outsourcing to other parties. This way we can keep project costs streamlined and communication with our clients thorough and frequent. DDA strives to achieve a final result that exceeds expectations, with a flawless and engaging end user experience across every platform and to every device. Whether the project requires extensive database management, eLearning and certification programs, 3D computer modeling and animation, graphic design and multimedia production or any type of custom software design and programming, DDA will guide you through the Augmented Reality landscape.
If you would like to know more about Memory Game, or if you have a great AR gaming idea you want to develop, let's set up a time to discuss it.
