Blippar has revealed that they will be creating the first true augmented reality game for Google Glass. And this new title will be available on the recently revealed gaming platform called Games for Glass.
The platform was presented by CEO Rish Mistra. To access it, users need to open the Blippar app which triggers a virtual interface that they can interact with both via their hands and the Google Glass headset itself.
Showcased at 2014 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona Rish showed off the game, he aimed the headset at a poster on the wall that was covered in asteroids, triggering the game which caused them to appear to fly at him. He then used his hands to swat them away.
He said: "Glass today can be likened to what mobile phones were in early nineties. We at Blippar anticipate that if Glass reaches a couple million users in its first year of launch, it will be a good business opportunity for us to develop in the space. We are investing in the potential of Glass."
Blippar is the first platform to enable image-recognition technology on the device. Forbes has called Blippar a "killer app" that gave purpose to Google Glass.
