Project
Droplands is an AR game concept currently in development. The project combines social simulation games with persistent augmented reality in order to create a new type of game that lets players compete and decorate their world with animals and plants of their own creation.
Droplands is currently being designed for mobile augmented reality with a view to adapt the experience for head-mounted AR and MR displays in the near future.
Collect
Players are given missions to retrieve resources and treasures in the real world. To complete these tasks, you must first get within range the target , then send your Dropbot to go get them. Certain items may be in demand, so be sure to get there quick!
Create
Once you’ve got your resources, it’s time to grow your Droplands.
Plant seeds, grow fruit, hatch eggs - whatever it takes to grow your collection to be bigger, stronger, and better than the competition.
Compete
Challenge other players and put your grown collection to the test. Use the items you have created to compete in AR mini-games against your friends and enemies to earn prizes, power ups, and more resources to continue building your Droplands!
