Augmented Reality Quake
Now this has to be the next dimension of gaming: a program that overlays the real world and throws up Quake type monsters in a HUD. Spooky, thrilling, and good exercise to boot (as you will be moving around a real environment, not a virtual one). The biggest problem is accurately tracking player positions using “combinations of digital compasses, inclinometers, GPS (satellite) tracking and pattern recognition technologies,” but surely it’s worth the trouble to get it right.
