Augmented Sound Gaming With Dimensions

Posted by Jennifer Allen on December 2nd, 2011

Technology is improving in in leaps and bounds. It's an immensely exciting time to be alive. Just a glance at the growing prevelance of Augmented Reality games aptly demonstrates that. How about a game that relies on augmented sound though? Now, that's a bit different.

Dimensions looks extremely interesting in that respect. It uses augmented sound to turn the world into a game. Designed to be played in parallel with normal life, the game manipulates and enhances sound nearby changing the things we hear as a matter of course over the day. Players enter and exit different dimensions within the game as they go about their life. Missions can then be completed by collecting artifacts and fighting enemies.

It's a pretty fascinating concept and with music from Inception composer Hans Zimmer, Dimensions looks all the more compelling.

Dimensions is set for release sometime this month. We'll be sure to keep an eye on its development. For now, check out the video below that explains a bit more.
