Augmented Reality Alien Apps

AR Invaders Lets You Defend Your Town From an Alien Invasion

— March 2, 2011 — Tech
AR Invaders is a new iPhone game from Soulbit7 that lets you battle UFOs using augmented reality. The augmented reality feature of AR Invaders your location into an instant battleground with alien spaceships flying and firing at you from all sides.

My favorite feature of AR Invaders, aside from being able to use your hometown as the battleground, is the included multiplayer function. iPhone games have always been fun time sucks, but they have never had much replay value once beaten. AR Invaders' multiplayer mode ensures that you'll still be fighting to save your local shopping mall or downtown district long after you've finished the single player campaign. Check out the video to see a demo of AR Invaders in action. It's times like these that make me wish I had an iPhone.
