Parrot has just released AR.Pursuit which is the Augmented Reality shooter of its previously released app Free Flight. They also have a video which is inline with the others they have produced unfortunately it does not show what happens when the Drone is shot or if there is feedback on the iPhone for the one piloting when the Drone is hit. Either way, I look forward to seeing how it behaves with my drone and lighting mods made to the hull.
AR.Pursuit pinpoints the outstanding technical and flight capabilities of the AR.Drone, allowing the players to put their piloting skills to the test. This game demonstrates the extreme maneuverability and stability of the AR.Drone. Players are immerged in a world where real and virtual mix inside a pursuit race…a truly unique experience! [iTunes]
Player one, the hunter, pursues player two, attempting to bring him down with virtual missiles. Once caught, the players change roles and a new pursuit begins! [iTunes]
Here's how it works: the game uses the Drone's front-facing cameras and renders in bullets and missiles when players choose to fire. To avoid game-death, players will need to maneuver their drones in various directions, hiding and assaulting their opponent as needed. The game, which retails for $2.99, can be played indoors and outside, provided a stable Wi-Fi connection can be accessed. Parrot recommends that you use those indoor stickers if you plan to play indoors, and obviously you'll want to pick a place that's large enough to move a radio-controlled craft around in.
