I'm sure most people are quite familiar with Virtual Reality. You put a headset, leave your senses of the current world behind, and and become completely engrossed in the new. This will become 'the thing' for the next 5 years or so. However, how many know about Augmented Reality (AR)?

AR is where you put on a transparent headset / glasses and see the world around you with info/holograms injected into your line-of-site. This is the technology that is going to tranform gaming (and life in general) in the future. I've been following this tech closely for the past few years with Microsoft Hololens, Google Magic, etc. We're still years out before the hardware catches up. However, I can't help but think about LS dungeons being setup in different viewing angles similar to how Minecraft was shown https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgakdcEzVwg&t=135s With it being some of the first games available, it would receive a lot of notoriety and attract people with $$$ to play.

Just a thought. I'd get into making an Ipad App etc, but maybe this would be the better route. Eye Candy for the current players and a way to drum up some players & advertisement on the game.


Best Wishes,
Nick

I've literally watched 100+ Videos on AR, what's your favorite and could you envision LS recoded in augmented reality?

Below is a 1 min old summary video for the TLDR crowd.

i'm not really a fan of augmented reality, the wearable tech like hololens doesn't have the processing power to do anything really graphics intensive and the visual lag is horrible.

/agree

When the hardware picks up with the tech, I think we're in business--that's why we're a good 5 years out. If we can get quantum computing tackled by then, we're without a doubt in business. The other limiting factor is a power source and https://news.utexas.edu/2017/02/28/goodenough-introduces-new-battery-technology has already been discovered and awaiting commercialization.

Dan, I am without doubt that AR will be a game changer.
