Star Wars in Augmented Reality

According to a report (and a pretty stunning demo video) from Gizmodo, THQ will be bringing us an augmented reality game for the most recent iPhone platforms.

Called “Star Wars Arcade: Falcon Gunner” the interface uses the camera on your iPhone to take in the surrounding landscape and you repel a TIE fighter attack in your own surroundings. It looks ridiculously cool and I’ll certainly be picking it up.

You will be able to play against classic backgrounds from the saga, or with your phone.

It’s supposed to be out later this month.

When it comes out, I’ll be sure to let you know.

And seriously, be sure to check out the footage. This looks like the perfect application of augmented reality.
