MoleARlert - an augmented reality game based on Lemmings

In this poster, we present our outdoor AR game MoleARlert. The idea behind this research prototype was to exploit the enormous potential of AR in combination with classical game play based on the well-known game Lemmings by Psygnosis. Real players interact with virtual moles on a real playing field. The moles are guided through the hazardous environment to their final goal. The multiplayer game is observed through a stationary video see-through monitor. The team leader directs the real players around the field in order for them to steer the game with special markers and human gestures. Thus, the game requires a lot of action from players and is very entertaining.
