I thought this was pretty cool. This augmented reality thing seems to have a lot of potential.

    Awesome. Being able to have full range of motion in the environment is pretty cool. Reminds a little of a combination of the Konami motion-capture arcade games, crossed with Silent Scope (another Konami game, oddly enough). What are you waiting for POI? Get to work on your own version. ;-)

    That actually looks like fun.

    Yeah! I’d love to. :) It’s really exciting to see table top games come to life.

    There is also the “real world” type games like this:

    I’ve also heard of a scrabble type game where you need to go places to find virtual letters that you can use to complete words for points.

    I wonder how long it will be before some kid to runs out into a busy street and gets run over. Lawsuits just waiting to happen.

    Cool. Zune HD has the Tegra chipset in it… wonder if games like this will be going there.

    Did someone change the title of this from Reality to Seality or did I really make a typo that bad?

    No? Why would anyone do that? You’re post titles are so pretty!

    That new title must be the Japanese version.

    I see what you did there…

    Well, twiddle my fiddle if that title didn’t just change AGAIN!
    Now, I’m almost positive I didn’t do THAT! shucks and gee how!

    Zune HD doesn’t have a camera… oops.
