A talk from the Consumer Track at AWE USA 2017 - the largest conference for AR+VR in Santa Clara, California May 31- June 2, 2017. Michael Levine (HappyGiant): Augmented Reality and the Future of Board and Card Games HappyGiant CEO and games/toy industry veteran Michael Levine will talk about how Augmented and Virtual Reality technologies can enhance and shape the future of classic card and board games. Using the example of its recently released "hybrid" AR multiplayer card-board-digital game HoloGrid: Monster Battle (created in conjunction with award-winning Phil Tippett and Tippett Studio), Levine will walk through the game's development process, addressing the challenges, discussing relevant technologies, and providing learnings. Inspired by the HoloChess scene in the original Star Wars film, HoloGrid: Monster Battle utilizes physical cards containing monsters, spells and playing boards that 'come to life' and populate the game using Vuforia's AR technology. http://AugmentedWorldExpo.com
