Capture the Flag - Augmented Reality Game

Capture the Flag is a multiplayer, 3G network. based game. Game play requires Bluetooth to be On, Wifi Off, and have a good GPS signal which generally requires a person to be outdoors.

Capture the Flag has a long history among young gamers. They love to be outdoors, physically active and mentally engaged. In this spirit, Situware set out to redefine the possibilities for Capture the Flag by introducing an iPhone augmented reality version. Designed for small teams of adult play, a sophisticated variation on the classic childrens game. Outdoors, physically active and mentally engaged!
Updated for modern game play, Situwares version reports players and team asset locations, in real-time, on an aerial view map. Players are resourced with virtual assets such as weapons, medical kits and flags. Games and teams are established ad hoc, flags are placed as the teams see fit. Players are monitored using the iPhones GPS, accelerometers, compass and their interaction with the touch display. Displayed information is reinforced with game generated sound and vibration, augmenting the players sense of the world.
As tradition would have it, the game is played outdoors, intended for casual gamers desiring a physical and a cognitively demanding experience. The time honored objective is to locate and capture the opposing teams flag while not losing your own.
