Brick - A Synchronous Multiplayer Augmented Reality Game for Mobile Phones.

Multiplayer augmented reality (AR) games allow players to inhabit a shared physical environment populated with interactive digital objects. However, currently available games fall short because of either limited synchronicity or limited opportunities for player movement. Here, we present Brick, a synchronous multiplayer AR game at the room scale. Brick's players collaborate to fill in a pattern of empty slots using digital "bricks" scattered about the room. This paper provides an overview of Brick from a design and technical perspective. It also discusses how Brick extends the current scope of AR games to include collaborative gameplay.
