Another great example of augmented reality gaming, levelHead is a spatial memory game from 2007-2008 by Julian Oliver, a Madrid, Spain-based artist, inventor and teacher. Oliver’s spatial memory game consists of three colored cubes (each with unique faces), a camera, computer and projector.
levelHead utilizes a tangible interface by allowing the player’s hands to directly influence the rooms and character’s movement in the game. By tilting a block in any direction, the user moves their character from room to room through a series of interconnected doors. The block’s digital rooms bring augmented reality gaming into an Escheresque-meets-Rubik’s-Cube space that is nothing short of inspiring.
