Jumanji Singapore: An interactive 3D board game turning hollywood fantasy into reality

Abstract

Traditional board games encourage social and physical interactions among players. However, there is a lack of visual and auditory fantasies supported by computer games. In this demo we present an tangible augmented reality (AR) board game, called "Jumanji Singapore", to turn Hollywood fantasy into reality. Players are allowed to transport among physical world, 3D AR world, and 3D virtual reality (VR) world. Physical dices are used to directly interact with AR/VR graphics and control the process of the board game. This demo shows an example of tangible AR interface for interactive board game application.
