Arma2 Android App with Augmented Reality!

[Gravelsack 3]

So, I was browsing the Armaholic webpage, and what did I find? That's right, an Arma2 android app with an augmented reality target feature! You print out a provided image, tape it to the wall, and the phones camera tracks it as a target.

Immediately I thought: DayZ IRL!

Get a bunch of buddies together, print out a bunch the images on sturdy cardstock, pin it to your clothes, and go out into the woods with your smartphones.

Distribute cans of beans and soda, toy guns representing guns in the app, bandages, etc. in 'structures' (cardboard boxes) across the 'map' (the area you decide to play in). When you pick up a toy gun, you are allowed to select that gun on your smartphone app, and use it.

Some players are survivors, some are bandits, and some are zed. Costumes are encouraged.

Survivors have to collect the beans.

Bandits have to kill the survivors by sniping them from hiding places.

The zed guard the structures, and have to kill the survivors and bandits by grabbing them. They can be shot by survivors or bandits.

Rules would have to be drafted, and agreed upon, but this could make for some serious fun. Especially if played at night, with real road flares and flashlights.

Oh, and because you'd be burning through your phone's batteries like mad, ammo would consist of AA batteries, which you would use to recharge your phone with one of those emergency recharger thingies.
