Project Description Slide

Beyond the Board is an AR board game innovating by bridging the virtual and physical worlds together. This theme was further emphasized with me being fully virtual and Nate being onsite. At that point, we had the idea of developing an AR board game, so that the players could play in both the virtual world, where anything is possible, and in the physical world, where physics is the major game mechanic. Due to Nate and I being at differing locations, we decided to have me focus on the virtual realm and Nate focus on the physical realm.

On the day before pencils down, I designed an extremely low fidelity test app.

The app allows people to experience the board game without needing the actual board.

The final AR app is currently still in development due to engine requirements. At the moment it can render all the tiles and creatures however the attack phase's programing is still incomplete.

Market Strategy

Stage 2: Release AR app and open up preorders for a physical board product run. Expand the characters and offer more boards for more AR games (Chess, Dungeons and Dragons, etc). Eventually get our boards in toy stores and Amazon

Stage 1: Put Digital app on the market with a paid expansion pack and advertising to raise money for Xcode and a better Augmented Reality Engine. Through direct comments, experimental updates, and game modes, get customer feedback and improve the game for AR release as well as grow social media pages to line up potential Beyond the Board buyers.
