Abstract
This study investigates the merits of incorporating augmented reality in mobile games and proposes a mobile game application that combines augmented reality technology with gaming. The proposed study postulates that augmented reality technology can be employed for developing games on smartphones. The proposed application involves the implementation of a 3D virtual object in the real world by incorporating a target image. The proposed application also employs an intuitive interface with simplified manipulation based on touch, and allows players to collect and combine items for acquiring new items, thus making it elementary to pass the game stages. Furthermore, a ranking system has been introduced in the proposed application for enhancing the amusement factor of the game. The novelty of the proposed application lies in the fact that the virtual button function has been employed for combining physical and virtual objects while playing the game, without incorporating location-based services.
