I thought the purpose of Sudoku was a time killer and exercise for the brain. If you’re more interested in having a filled out booklet on the coffee table to impress your friends and family then this augmented reality iPhone Sudoku Grab can quickly analyze the board and give you the answers.
When AR computing technologies become more ubiquitous, you won’t ever want to let your friends wear their AR glasses during any board game because there will certainly be helper-agents to plan the next move. And I for one am waiting for the Scrabble-helper so I can quickly figure out what seven letter words I have.
Hello! Recently, Ori Inbar asked me to join forces with them at Games Alfresco to continue make it the premiere place to get your augmented reality news. Having been a fan of the site since I became aware of the technology, I jumped at the chance. If you’re familiar with my site The Future Digital Life, then you’ll know I help the AR community keep up with steady flow of news. Given that there are now three of us behind the news desk, hopefully we can make sure that nothing goes unnoticed. I still plan on maintaining my site, but that will be for non-AR related posts.
