Taleblazer
TaleBlazer is an augmented reality (AR) software platform. Developed by the MIT (STEP) lab, TaleBlazer allows users to play and make their own location-based mobile games. By situating games in the real world, AR games combine real landscapes and other aspects of the physical environment with additional digital information supplied by smartphones.
