After googling I found out through Mikko Haapoja's blog that there was a toolkit for it for Flash. I got excited about this. I read about Saqoosha from there on and checked out his newest projects from time to time. After getting Papervision3D and the FLARToolkit working, I was even more excited.
At work I tried to sell the idea to customers – they were excited, but were somehow reluctant to do anything with it. And I was reluctant to do anything unfitting to AR with it. As silly as it sounds it shouldn't feel like the AR is just pasted on top of a concept – which it actually is.
After conversations with my wife, Joonas and Anttu from the Boutique about it and we decided to make a game based on the Guys. We decided that the game itself can be simple and that the main focus should be on the Guys-concept. That was easy, since the Guys is augmented reality from it's core concept.
Joonas and I decided that it could be an engine I've already coded in the past. We developed the game together (me coding, him animating the guys), while Anttu and Eliza were commenting on the gameplay and stuff
You can play the game here.
It's still at it's beta-phase, but you can try it out and send your highscore with a final screenshot of the game (fully automated in Flash, naturally). We'll be updating it better and better and I already have another FlashAR-concept for the guys.
Yeah. But what a fun way to crack the door of Actionscript 3.0 open for myself.
