Video and electronic games have typically been an indoor activity, but they don’t have to be. There are several new games available for smart phones where you, the player, are forced to physically move outside into the real world. It sounds so old-fashioned, playing outdoors. But as GPS and mapping become ever more accessible tools in our phones and gadgets, it’s easier than ever to enter a game’s alternate universe right in your own city.

This fall, Alyssa Concha and I have had a lot of fun playing Digital Graffiti Gallery, an ARIS game. The above shot is from our most recent outing, where we found a piece reminiscent of the one that began the game (below) but is now long gone. Digital Graffiti Gallery is a good example of an activity that ARIS can support whose robustness doesn’t really come from what the game’s author put into ARIS, but rather the way in which ARIS mediates an interaction that is pregnant in the place. It is also a good way to begin talking about some of the larger pedagogical aims involved in this work. Digital Graffiti Gallery was put together by Ivan Kenarov, a student in the first run of my class, Local Games in ABQ .ARIS - Mobile Learning Experiences - Creating educational games on the iPhone

However, very less of them managed to stand out from the pack and I’ll be featuring those really addictive AR games in this posts :
10 Awesome Augmented Reality Games for iPhone
Augmented reality games (ARGs) are often interesting in theory— and sometimes in practice —but just as often they require far too much work to actually be enjoyable. But with built-in cameras, GPS, and sensors, modern smartphones make ARGs much more accessible. You don't need any extra gear, just the phone you have in your pocket. To help promote the DVD release of the second Paranormal Activity film, game developer Ogmento has released an iPhone app called Paranormal Activity: Sanctuary , which takes elements of FourSquare and combines them with the board game Risk. And then it throws the whole thing straight to hell. Ars spoke with Ogmento CEO and co-founder Ori Inbar about the unique game and why the iPhone is a solid platform for ARGs.
