Top 10 Augmented Reality engines that will ignite a new era of video games

Posted on May 13, 2008 by Ori Inbar

Welcome back!

So far we have looked at demos of augmented reality gameplay and investigated preferred hardware devices. That was just the warm up. Now we’re getting into the real beef: who offers the best software engine that can augment our reality (and our spirits)? Who will spearhead the creation of a totally new gaming experience?

Games alfresco brings you the unofficial roundup of the top 10 best augmented reality engines.

We will look at one engine at a time (enough with these looong posts!) and at the end of the round up, will rank them based on the feedback from you, the community. This is collaborative work in progress of group of passionate contributors on facebook. If you want to take part of the fun, join us at: augmented reality games.

Here is a sneak peak at some of the engines that we may or may not review:

Stay tuned…or better yet – tell us what you think!

    Hey guys,

    I was wondering what AR software would you recommend? I’m looking for a complete platform that offers me tracking (marker, texture and 3d objetcs), rendering, and web and offline publication possibilities. I want to be able to create complete applications with the less possible restrictions.

    I would appreciate your help if you pointed me toward a software that fulfills my needs explained above.

    Thanks,

    Jaime Cruz
