Shining Axe – Augmented Reality Game Concept – October 2010 – Video # 1 & 2 (Battle Sequence & Boss Sequence): It is a design concept combining RPG and card game elements with Augmented Reality functionality. My inspiration for this piece comes from games like Golden Axe (on the Sega Genesis), Final Fantasy (on the SNES), and Baten Kaitos (on Nintendo Gamecube). I was also intrigued by technologies like the Playstation EyeToy from Sony, and today’s amazing Kinect technology from Microsoft that allows the user to become the controller.
