Armada Mixed Reality

By Ken at Sunrise, in Star Wars: Armada

This isn't me but it is very interesting.

Using Star Wars: Armada and Microsoft's HaloLens: Star Wars Armada in Mixed Reality

I have always thought this game would be fantastic in augmented reality, though never pictured anything like this.

I would just be happy seeing lasers come out of my real ships on the table.

This is how armada was meant to be played o__o

Now I want one too. Using Mixed reality should help people with motion sickness.

Please tell me someone has made a dejarik table with this tech.

Dude, the maker of these vids posted a thread on this very page 2 days ago with links to these vids!

Show this thread, and it's awesome creator @genereddick some love! No need to link to another forum, we got the hook ups right here.

I really don't know why this hasn't gotten more attention. The maker has posted twice now (once in off topic, once here) to surprisingly lukewarm response.

I find it just amazing.

If I had to guess the answer is probably some combination of the fact that it requires a $3,000.00 piece of hardware that very few people have and even if they did, as cool and amazing as it looks in concept; I doubt the game translates very well to being played in an actual 3D space, it looks dizzying. That said, it looks like a lot of talent and hard work went into it and mad props for that. I look forward to seeing where tech like this is in another 5-10 years. It'll be awesome and this guy is clearly a pioneer.

I agree. You know, this could be really cool if you restricted it to 3D space of a certain height and width, so you could look down it and stroke you chin like Thrawn whilst activating via voice command your ships and watching them fly to destruction (preferably their enemies, but knowing my flying, more likely their own). . .

Honestly for me it is so cool and mind numbing I don't have much to say. Wtf is it? Is this the future?

I'm not even talking about the prospect of playing it yourself, just the sheer wow factor.

It is definitely a wow!

I wasn't that excited by HoloLense until I saw this. Now I really hope Microsoft comes out with a consumer version.

Can I refer you to Saganami Island Tactical Simulator?
