We expect to build the social game of Pictionary in Augmented Reality (AR). In essence, this would involve one player drawing in the air, using a handheld device, while other players would try to guess what that player is drawing. The drawing would be superimposed on the real world through the use of AR on a phone or laptop’s camera, which would be viewed on the corresponding phone or laptop’s screen. This concept provides a portable and novel form of not only entertainment, but also social bonding and interaction.
Our main design requirements are that the game be portable and easy to use. The handheld device will ideally be lightweight and intuitive to use. There should be relatively quick communication between the hardware device and AR display for user friendliness.
