Nintendo 3DS AR Cards Packaged Into Android App for Augmented Reality Goodness
We here at Phandroid have been pretty intrigued by the developments in glasses-free 3D for mobile devices, but our content range has left one non-Android related device without much coverage: the Nintendo 3DS. A new Android app is giving us an excuse to talk about the new handheld gaming system, however, and its augmented reality gaming capabilities.
The aptly named 3DS AR Cards app packages the physical augmented reality generating cards that trigger interactive games into a digital form to be displayed on your Android phone’s screen. The result is the same: computer generated baddies pop out of real life surfaces, archery targets arise from kitchen countertops, and the 3DS tracks it all in real time. It sure beats hauling around stacks of cardstock.
The app is available for free in the Android Market. Sure, the handheld hasn’t launched just yet, but why not be prepared for the moment it does?
