The first-person shooter Phantogeist has debuted as a social augmented reality game on Google Tango.
In this game from Chicago-based Trixi Studios, a friendly alien helps you identify nasty invading aliens and shoot them in the real world. You hold up a Tango-enabled smartphone, such as the Lenovo Phab 2 Pro, and look into the landscape around you. When you spot an enemy alien, you fire at it. The challenge is to spin around quickly to deal with the attackers coming at you from multiple directions.
“It is a first-person shooter where players can walk around, inside or outside, and fire at virtual enemies in the actual real world around them,” said Trixi owner Chip Sineni in an email to GamesBeat.
