Sparring

This app lets you swing and strike your phone to spar your friends!

Wii and Kinect systems cost hundreds of dollars, are bulky, and sit idle in your living room. Sparring lets you do motion gaming anywhere, sparring against your friends or bots. Click on an opponent within the map and start swinging your phone to deal massive damage! It also lets you look through your camera to find virtual items on a map.

The story: There has been a rift in the space time continuum. Interdimensional Zombies, bearing the resemblance of human skeletons, are being released into our own dimension from another. After years of research, we finally captured the ability to harness this energy. An exclusive club emerged from the guardians of these weapons, a Sparring Society.

This sparring society connected to each other upon a Virtual Geography system, Virgeo. The society is made up of exclusive members, who's locations can be seen inside the map view. Sparring with others can be done via the map. Location based broadcasted messages were created to communicate amongst the society. In order to obtain items, an augmented reality system was used to find them using a mobile device.

The idea: This application is dynamic social gaming with an augmented reality implementation.
