Haunted House Apps

The 'Night Terrors' App is a Nightmarish Augmented Reality Game

— June 1, 2015 — Tech
Haunted house apps may not be for everyone, but for anyone who enjoys a good scare or two, the new 'Night Terrors' app might be the perfect choice. The app delivers an immersive augmented reality game that will turn any home into the spookiest of haunted houses, complete with terrifying ghosts and murderous psychopaths.

'Night Terrors' works by using advanced environmental mapping, gyroscope sensors and your own smartphone camera to create an nightmarish virtual reality game. To begin the game, simply download the app, plug in your headphones and turn off all the lights. The app will then create a map out of your surroundings to produce an immersive haunted house. Using only your smartphone flashlight to navigate your home, the app will produce an interactive story right before your eyes for a truly terrifying experience.

Although haunted house apps such as Night Terrors are sure to be too much for some, the creative augmented reality game is perfect for any horror lover. If you're interested in the app, Night Terrors is currently running an Indiegogo campaign to bring the game to consumers.
