Siemens is set to launch a really cool augmented reality (AR) football game for mobile phones ahead of this year’s World Cup in Germany.
AR was used to train gas installers through employees sending pictures of the malfunctioning part to a central database that would then return installation instructions.
“Kick Real” allows players to take virtual penalty kicks by aiming a mobile camera phone at their foot while kicking an imaginary ball. This is about the realest interactive mobile game I’ve seen so far. Huge ‘Wow’ factor. I like where this is going to!
